Abstract

In 1959, after a sparse and dismal stage history, All's Well that Ends Well was given two productions in the professional theatre. Surprisingly both productions were well received by critics and audiences. Both productions enjoyed long and successful runs; the number of performances in each case surpassed that of any previous production of the play. Yet, the two productions differed markedly in interpretation. I am tempted to say that the audiences saw two different plays.
