Pericles

By William Shakespeare Directed by Joseph Haj
February 26 – November 1, 2015

Pericles, Prince of Tyre, sets out to woo a princess and sails headlong into harrowing adventure. Pursued by an evil king, Pericles is blown from port to exotic port. Along the way, he finds the love of his life, then loses her and their infant daughter in a storm-tossed sea. Happily,this is a Romance—Shakespeare’s first—where in true storybook fashion, miracles reunite the lost with those who love them, bringing joy and safe harbor at last.
Suitability Suggestions

This story of good and evil includes an incestuous relationship, scenes in a brothel with dialogue about the trade, and an attempted rape. However, at the play’s end, good triumphs with the help of divine intervention. Middle and high school students who are prepared to handle these aspects of the play will find Pericles a delightful and moving tale.
