By William Shakespeare
Directed by Scott Wentworth
MIRACLES ARE EASY. LOVE’S A LITTLE HARDER
Having worked a seemingly miraculous cure on the deathly ill King of France, Helena, the orphaned daughter of a celebrated physician, claims as her reward the hand of Bertram, the young lord she adores. She already has the blessing of his mother, the Countess of Rossillion, but Bertram himself resents being forced into an arranged marriage. It looks like Helena needs another miracle to win his heart – till Bertram’s own roving eye enables an audacious remedy.This production is set during the First World War.
