He's just not into you. But what if you could change his mind? Meet Helena, who is desperately in love with Bertram—a man who leaves his country to avoid her. But delulu is the solulu. All’s Well That Ends Well, directed and adapted by Professor Travis Curtright.
The production set Shakespeare's text in the present day, with smartphones replacing letters, Instagram profile spoofs and text-message chains anchoring the marketing campaign, and the King's notorious fistula reimagined as blindness. In a signature SIP twist, a different audience member was cast each night as the fourth lord, recruited on the spot to endure Helena's rejection as she chose her husband over him.
This production also included an SIP literary magazine, produced entirely by the troupe. It features critical essays debating Helena's character, cast interviews, and infographics tracing her scheme — a window into the training and artistic choices behind the show.
