ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
By William Shakespeare
Adapted by John Fisher
August 2nd and 9th, 2024
Things are a mess, and so is the world of topsy-turvy morals, jealous lovers, and outrageous “pranks” in Shakespeare’s problematic romance All’s Well that Ends Well. What better group to revel in, and eventually make sense of, such a mess than a roving band of queer, gender non-conforming, trans-generational theatre folks?
Director John Fisher’s vision of the production, which starts inside at Pangea (representing the characters’ home in France) and moves outside to Tompkins Square Park (representing their time abroad and at war in Italy), has been cast with what could be described as gender anarchy – protagonist Helena is played by a male actor, Bertram is played by a woman, a man does triple duty as both monarchs of the warring nations, as well as the assisting Widow to Helena’s marital scheme. If Shakespeare is a mirror for human relationships through time, this prism of talent is sure to cast new light on current and evolving politics of race, age, and especially gender.
