All's Well That Ends Well

Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum
1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd. Topanga

Theatricum continues its celebration of Shakespeare's 450th birthday with the Bard's bittersweet comedy. The beautiful but low-born Helena heals the king, winning the right to marry the man she loves – a count above her station. But no one is prepared for the severity and ruthlessness of Bertram's rejection of Helena as his royally-decreed wife, nor for the lengths to which Helena will go in order to win his love. This summer, discover Theatricum Botanicum's "garden of theater," a spectacular outdoor amphitheater nestled in the heart of Topanga Canyon.

"...That we follow the largely unedited text through its dark moments and plot convolutions to an earned happy conclusion testifies to the curiosity factor and the clarity of storytelling at play. "All's Well" may not be a flawless work, but it nonetheless ends well here."

"...However, although your itinerant reviewer thoroughly enjoyed this Rabelaisian romp, parents who don't want to explain the rather bawdy, naughty verbiage to their young 'uns may want to leave the kiddies at home, as this is definitely a dramedy for the grownups."

"...This very well done All's Well That Ends Well is part of Theatricum Botanicum's all Shakespeare season in celebration of the Bard's 450th birthday and there a few better ways to spend a midsummer night than watching one of these classy productions."

"...The interesting thing was that each of the characters struggles were far more tragic than they were comedic. The ability to bring out humor in such dire circumstances, such as heartbreak, betrayal, social injustice, and oppression, is something that has made Shakespeare still relevant today."

"...The production's authenticity extends to both its trappings and its conventions as it challenges the validity of both in the pursuit love. On Theatricum Botanicum's outdoor stage, it is as congenial an exploration of human behavior as you are like to find anywhere and a tale for a summer night that is a pleasure to behold."

Topanga Messenger - Recommended

"...With its large cast and lively action, All's Well makes for the perfect summer outing or date-night theater event. Perhaps more than any other Shakespearean play, All's Well is packed full of delightful one-liners and memorable quotes, such as "love all; trust a few" and "My friends were poor, but honest.""

"...All's Well That Ends Well, is by all means, a show worth seeing and a concept curious enough worth visiting. No matter the complications or structure of the Bard's script or the shortcomings of a the attempted reboot, there is hardly a disappointment to be found from first to last line, made more special by the gorgeous environment of the outdoor stage itself. All in all - a treat."
