Available until: Forever, or until the Globe take it off their site. But even if you buy it or receive it as a gift, you can only access it through the site for a limited time. So you need to download it. Once it’s downloaded I think it’s yours forever.

All’s Well That Ends Well is one of the great problem plays. And the usual problems people have with this play are either a complete lack of understanding of why an intelligent woman like Helena would want an idiot like Bertram – and whether the trick Helena and Diana play on Bertram is entirely right.

All’s Well That Ends Well is a problem play. There is one incident in the play which I don’t like at all and which I will talk about in more detail later, but this was a captivating performance by some brilliant performers.

Even in a Zoom production, there was a lot to see – much of it on the actors’ heads. There were some incredible hats in this production, all of them owned, created or adapted by the actors themselves. I wasn’t sure I’d ever see a finer array of hats than on Aashiq’s hatstand, but I think All’s Well That Ends Well has got him beat. (For now. I’m sure he’s scouring the internet as I type.)
