The young and virtuous physician’s daughter Helena desperately loves Count Bertram but he regards her as beneath his notice. When Helena cures the king of France of a mortal illness he rewards her with Bertram’s hand but before their marriage can be consummated the count flees.
To win her husband back again Helena forms a daring and resourceful plan. A plot to unmask the strutting soldier Parolles makes up another strand in this sometimes disturbing comedy of deception and disguise.
A Blackstone Audio production.
