NT LIVE - ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL Trailer

Following the hugely successful launch of NT Live with Phèdre from Britain's National Theatre, the series of plays captured in High Definition and shown in cinemas around the world continues with two screenings of Shakespeare's ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL on October 17 and 18 at selected Australian cinemas.

The feisty but lowly Helena falls in love with Bertram, a haughty count. To gain his hand she is set a string of impossible tasks. Even if accomplished, they can hardly guarantee his love. He refuses to bed her and yet says he'll only be hers if she bears his child; and he lusts after another. Nevertheless, our heroine, whether wisely or not, refuses to give him up.

Set against a background of sexism, snobbery and a battle between the generations, Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well turns fairytale logic on its head. A wondrous, bittersweet story.
