"Helena cures the King from a sickness. He gives her the Bertram, the husband of her choice. Her husband ditches her after the wedding and goes to fight battles in Tuscany telling her until she has his ring and his child he will not be considered her husband. (Catch me if you can)! An OK story with some excellent one-liners."
"Lightweight, leave it behind edition of a play that is difficult to stage well. I took it to the Stratford Festival, read it, and left it behind, and the Festival had a hard time staging it well. Doesn't matter. The play fascinates. No one seems to understand that Shakespeare meant something different by "love" than what me mean. Getting his meaning helps the ending make sense. Bertram declares that he is changing allegiance, and that how he can make the claim of loving Helena more convincingly."
"Well done full-cast audio version of the problem play. I have reservations about the sound patterns, but not enough to remove a star from the rating. The cast navigates this difficult play well."
