Theater: Pericles

One of Shakespeare’s last works, Pericles tells the story of an itinerant young king and the fortunes that befall him and those he meets on his travels. From the moment he guesses the dark secret of a rival king, Pericles knows no rest. As he finds his way from violent storms to drought, from brothels to temples, he encounters exotic landscapes, dangerous adversaries, high adventure, magic, and romance. This vast tale of sin and redemption has something to offer everyone.
