Was ihr wollt

But despite all the rousing entertainment value, it is always about serious content: the discourses about devotion and dominance, self-image and projection in love, presented in poetic language, move lovers of all stripes and at all times; they provide the material for role reversal and trench warfare between them genders. Here Shakespeare continues the core theme of his comedies: the longings, pain and hardships of human relationships. The production uses this timelessly modern starting point and holds up a mirror to us with a wink: a happy ending seems possible, but not necessary - but love is stronger.
