SUMMARY:Montana Shakespeare in the Parks: All's Well That Ends Well
DESCRIPTION:  All's Well That Ends Well Rounding out the summer repert
	ory is All's Well That Ends Well. One of the Bard's least-produced pla
	ys\, it is an exemplary counterpoint to Macbeth\, one of Shakespeare's
	 most well-known plays. Largely lumped into a group of plays that scho
	lars call the 'problem plays\,' the problem is not with the dialogue\;
	 the problem is that the play does not fall into any neat and tidy cat
	egory. All's Well\, for example\, has elements of romance and elements
	 of comedy\, but it's neither. It has plenty of drama\, but it's not c
	ompletely a serious play. It has elements of Shakespeare's historic an
	d tragic plays. There's even a bit of sex farce. We don't know what to
	 call it. That's the problem - but only for file clerks. Bertram\, a y
	oung braggart soldier who dreams of military greatness and who places 
	social station above virtually everything else\, sets off to serve the
	 King of France. Simply put: he's a snob. Beautiful Helena\, a young w
	oman who serves Bertram's mother has fallen passionately in love with 
	Bertram. Secretly\, she follows him to Paris. A dying king is miraculo
	usly cured by Helena\, whose father was a famous physician. Overjoyed 
	at being alive\, the king allows Helena to choose anyone in the kingdo
	m to marry and\, of all people\, she chooses the truculent Bertram. He
	 is forced to consent to the marriage but decides that he would rather
	 die in battle than stay married to Helena and so flees to Florence to
	 fight in the Italian wars. Playing out from that point in typical Sha
	kespearean fashion - boy hates girl\, girl is determined to get boy\, 
	boy is played for a fool\, girl triumphs in the end - we're derailed a
	long the way with some of the Bard's greatest comic writing in a witty
	\, wry story that\, in the end\, turns out to have been a fairy tale a
	ll along. All's Well That Ends Well will be directed by MSIP Artistic 
	Director Joel Jahnke.   Mailing Address:PO Box 174120Bozeman\, MT 5971
