Shakespeare in the Squares presents All’s Well That Ends Well.

Shakespeare's well loved rags to riches tale, depicting the epic journey of Helena, as she uses wit and ingenuity to win the heart of her reluctant love interest, Bertram.

This Production draws inspiration from the magic of fairy tales, in the European traditions of Grimm and Anderson, with a Gypsy Swing score.

Dame Judi Dench, CH, DBE, FRSA, Patron of Shakespeare in the Squares says, “A beautiful & complex play rarely performed, summed up by the exquisite line… “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good & ill together.”

Founded in 2016, Shakespeare in the Squares is a not-for-profit touring theatre company that stages a Shakespeare play in London garden venues for one or two nights in each venue every summer. The productions are tailored to the individual venues. All’s Well That Ends Well is the company's seventh annual production.
