And it threatens the reign of Eisner, one of the information age's legendary moguls. "He will...
This production was full of moments that wrapped the audience in wonder: when O’Donovan overcame his lack of resemblance to an aged, dying monarch to make his surprisingly moving outburst at his impending death; when Parolles was forced to go, cap in hand, to a man who detested him; and when the King told Diana that she could marry any lord she liked—and Diana responded with a smile so bright that it lit up the hall. There was a lot of magic in this All’s Well...
