Love and sorrow in Shakespeare’s Pericles!
We are an independent show guide. Resale ticket prices may be above face value.
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.

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!
