When Pericles discovers the terrible answer to King Antiochus' riddles, he flees for his life. In self-exile from Tyre he encounters famine, shipwreck, love and fatherhood... but in his desire to return home, he once again jeopardises his life and those he loves. It is probable that George Wilkins wrote the first two acts of this romance, with Shakespeare making additions and writing the remaining three. In this production, a great cast make light of the play's traditional staging problems and craft a compelling performance.
