Pericles, Prince of Tyre, A play by William Shakespeare
comes to Greenwich Playhouse on Tues February 24. Runs through Sun March 22 2009.
Tues - Sat eves 7.30pm, Sun mats 4.00pm
Tickets: ?12, ?10 (concs)
While this rarely performed classic verges on the outlandish, it also presents us with some of Shakespeare's most touching and beautifully written scenes. Neglected for many years, Pericles hasrecently enjoyed several highly-acclaimed revivals, including Yukio Ninagawa's Japanese-languageversion at the National Theatre and Adrian Noble's swansong production as Artistic Director of the RSC. Fleeing the wrath of King Antiochus, Prince Pericles sets to sea on an epic adventure.
Following his marriage to the Princess of Pentapolis and the birth of their first child, it seems Pericles has found happiness, but his good fortune is short-lived. On his return to his home city, he is cruelly separatedfrom his wife and newborn daughter by the tempestuous seas. Devastated, he adopts a hermit-like existence until, fourteen years later, fate conspires to reunite him with his long-lost family. Embarking on its maiden voyage, Blotto Theatre has developed an original edit of Shakespeare's text.
