Pericles
The story of Pericles unfolds like a mystery play, or a fable, or a Sindbad sea-voyage tale: the action wanders episodically as the hero ages, suffers, and ultimately shares a wonderful, wondrous restoration of lost life and love.

Why see Pericles?
'Tis Time To Fear When Tyrants Seem To Kiss
Love and sorrow in Shakespeare's Pericles, as Cincinnati Shakespeare Company brings The Bard's excellent yet lesser-known treasure, Pericles, to the stage! Directed by Brian Isaac Phillips and with an ensemble including Giles Davies, this brand new production is part of the company's packed 2026 season - and is sure to be CSC's biggest adventure yet!
What's it about?
The play tells the story of Pericles, the young prince of Tyre, who finds himself in a perilous situation when a riddle results in an attempted assassination! A story of love and betrayal, it's even invaded by some swashbuckling pirates!
