"All's Well That Ends Well" by William Shakespeare is a story set in the 1600s about love and social class. Helena is a doctor's daughter deeply in love with Bertram, a count who doesn't feel the same way. The story kicks off when Bertram is called to court, which Helena sees as her chance to win him over. She boldly decides to try and cure the King’s illness, hoping her father’s medical knowledge can help. Bertram isn’t thrilled about Helena, but Helena is confident. The play is a mix of sorrow for what's lost, a big push for what someone wants, and love that isn't returned. It's full of surprising ups and downs as it tells the tale of how Helena tries to make her love story have a happy ending.
