WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Chicago Shakespeare Theater continues their 1999-2000 season with ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL. Don't be too surprised in our day and age if the stuff of fairy tales leaves you uncertain whether all does, in fact, end well . . . Helena loves Bertram, son to the Countess who raised her. But Bertram takes no notice of the orphan in his mother's charge - until the dying King is cured by Helena's medicine and grants her one wish. She wishes for Bertram.
