Get All’s Well That Ends Well tickets

Inside the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, uncover a twisted tale of obsession, game-playing and deception in Shakespeare’s ruthless thriller, All’s Well That Ends Well.

Chelsea Walker (Visit from an Unknown Woman, Hampstead) makes her Globe directorial debut bringing Shakespeare’s rarely performed exploration of class, sexuality and gender to London’s only candlelit theatre.

The cast of All’s Well That Ends Well is led by Ruby Bentall (Lark Rise to Candleford) as Helen and Kit Young (Shadow and Bone) as Bertram.

All’s Well That Ends Well runs from 8 November 2024 to 4 January 2025 at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe London.

“When it comes to love, where do you draw the line?”

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.

‘Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none’
Act 1, Scene 1
