Summer-centric outdoor company Shakespeare in the Squares has hitherto toured only well-known Shakespeare plays on its annual jaunts through London’s leafiest, generally West London-est public squares. But there’s an intriguing break with tradition this year as it turns to ‘All’s Well That Ends Well’, the Bard’s relatively little-known comedy about Helena, a virtuous young woman who falls head over heels with a shit of an aristocrat called Bertram. Sioned Jones directs a production that we’re promised will include ‘a fairytale twist and gypsy swing music’.
