I like that you've written this. I love the Countess. I always think the Countess of Rousillion is the finest mother-in-law an abandoned wife could ever hope to have. One of most heartfelt lines in Shakespeare is the when the Countess says to Helena, "He was my son; But I do wash his name out of my blood, And thou art all my child."
Wish I could see it. The bastards won’t publish the recording because of various union agreements. (She took the role because it’s one of the best old lady parts, not to bust the bubble about her niceness)

YES that it such a great moment!!
I remember Judi Dench playing her at the RSC, always willing as an actor to take a small role in the company. Very moving.

I really loved Mona Awards "All's well" that draws on this Shakespeare piece 🙌
