"All's Well that Ends Well" is definitely a problem play (I mean, eeesh, there's a lot going on). But omg I really have fallen in love with it as of watching a Globe production from 2011 last night. Not least because the Countess of Rousillon is just superb. And the general women-supporting-women aspect of the whole thing. Shakespeare definitely had his proto-feminist moments, esp. in the comedies.

Hey #Shakespeare freaks (academic or otherwise) ... here is a question.
For years, I have read and heard uncited but confident statements about roles we "know" Richard #Burbage played: Hamlet, Othello, Lear, Bottom. Is there a contemporary source that confirms him having played these or other parts? If so, what is it?
