All’s Well That Ends Well – Sport for Jove

Overview

Throughout 2014, fans across the globe will celebrate 450 years since William Shakespeare's birth. To mark the occasion, popular Sydney-based Shakespeare company Sport For Jove, renowned for their outdoor productions, are celebrating with their largest ever indoor repertory season. And with this comes their premiere production of All's Well That Ends Well.

A play rarely performed and yet impressively bold, All's Well That End's Well is uniquely daring but often avoided due to its exploration of inherently difficult (and yet totally topical) issues. Here, Sport for Jove tackles the beast head on.

Under the direction of Damien Ryan (winner of the 2013 Sydney Theatre Critics Award for Best Director of an Independent Production), All's Well That Ends Well is about an ordinary girl with a big plan. The dark yet delightfully comedic play cuts straight to the heart of Shakespeare's wonderfully subversive perspective on love and family. "It explores a sexual scandal, and the subsequent fierce gender debate and moral furore that can follow," says Ryan.

Starring Robert Alexander, Sandie Eldridge, Francesca Savige, Edmund Lembke-Hogan and George Banders, All's Well That Ends Well also features the return of the supremely popular Twelfth Night ensemble.

All's Well That Ends Well plays in repertory with Twelfth Night, or What You Will.
