‘Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none’
Shakespeare’s Globe has announced the cast of All’s Well That Ends Well, a twisted tale of obsession, game-playing and deception directed by Chelsea Walker in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
When Helen cures the dying King, he grants her one wish: to choose any man she wants for her husband. Rejected by the man she’s always loved, Helen sets out to get him, by whatever means necessary.
When it comes to love, where do you draw the line?
Chelsea Walker says: “All’s Well that Ends Well is a thriller-esque social satire which interrogates power dynamics across class, gender and sexuality, and explores how far we’ll go to save face. It requires a bold, playful ensemble of actors who are up for rediscovering and reframing this play for today’s audience. I’m very excited to be working with such a talented, fearless company and I look forward to seeing what we create together.”
The cast comprises Catrin Aaron as Widow, Ruby Bentall as Helen, Emilio Doorgasingh as Lafew, Richard Katz as King of France, Caroline Moroney as Ensemble / Cover, Georgia-Mae Myers as Diana, Kwami Odoom as Dumaine, Siobhán Redmond as Countess, William Robinson as Paroles, Sachin K. Sharma as Ensemble / Cover, Adam Wadsworth as Morgan, and Kit Young as Bertram.
