Founders of Shakespeare in the Squares, Sue Fletcher and Martin Neild, comment “We are thrilled to announce our return this summer, celebrating our seventh anniversary with huge excitement. It’s fantastic to watch our audiences continue to grow as we have become a well-loved and established part of the London theatre world each summer. We are delighted to have added even more venues to our roster this season, making our performances accessible for more people right across London. We are looking forward to seeing both new and familiar faces in our audiences.”
Patron of Shakespeare in the Squares, Dame Judi Dench said about All’s Well That Ends Well, "A beautiful and complex play rarely performed, summed up by the exquisite line… ‘The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together’”
Bring your picnic, wine, sunglasses, pac-a-mac and participatory spirit and let’s make a fairytale wish: All’s Well That Ends Well!
