Photo Coverage: First Look at PERICLES at Shakespeare's Globe

PERICLES by William Shakespeare & George Wilkins, plays now through 21 April 2016 at Shakespeare's Globe. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Directed by Dominic Dromgoole, PERICLES is designed by Jonathan Fensom, composed by Claire van Kampen, and choreographed by Sian Williams. In the cast are Simon Armstrong as Antiochus/Simonides, Jessica Baglow as Marina, Tia Bannon as Daughter, Sam Cox as Escanes/Cerimon, Steffan Donnelly as Lysimachus, James Garnon as Pericles, Dennis Herdman as Bolt, Tom Kanji as Thaliard, Fergal McElherron as Helicanus/Pandar, Ryan McKen as Leonine, Dorothea Myer-Bennett as Thaisa/Dionyza, Daniel Rabin as Cleon, Sheila Reid as Gower, and Kirsty Woodward as Bawd/Lychorida.

Pericles, Prince of Tyre, is forced to flee his own kingdom and wander the world. Following a shipwreck, he meets Princess Thaisa and wins her for his wife. Months later, in another sea-storm, Thaisa dies in childbirth and her body is committed to the deep. The grief-stricken Pericles takes comfort in his baby daughter, Marina, but fosters her with friends. Years pass. Can report of her death be true? And can his dead wife return to life? Imbued with music, miracle and the constant presence of the sea, the spirit of fairy tale is never far from the surface of PERICLES, the first of Shakespeare's late romances.
