Theatre Sewanee will present William Shakespeare’s comedy “All’s Well That Ends Well” at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday–Saturday, Feb. 25–28, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, March 1, in the Tennessee Williams Center on the Sewanee campus. Admission is free but reservations are suggested; please email <mcook@sewanee.edu>.
“There’s place and means for every man alive,” says the character Parolles in his moment of greatest loss. He means “every” person, not just those we want to have around. But how do we find a place for those who hurt us the most? In Shakespeare’s “All’s Well That Ends Well,” his most modern woman, Helena, defies all cultural norms to answer this question. Like everyone, she has faults, but unlike most, she has unwavering love and baffling forgiveness. Helena travels through darkness and undergoes suffering to save the man of her heart’s desire. Through this journey, she unlocks the key for social change, healing and growth.
“All’s Well That Ends Well” is directed by Sewanee senior theater major Chase Brantley, with scenery by Mary Morrison, costumes by Josie Guevara-Torres and lighting by Chynna Bradford.
The production has a large cast of students and faculty, including faculty members David Landon, Marcia Mary Cook and Christopher Bryan.
