WEST COAST PREMIERE
written by William Shakespeare
in a modern verse translation by Ellen McLaughlin
directed by Margaret Shigeko Starbuck
In partnership with Play On Shakespeare
When Prince Pericles uncovers a deadly royal secret, he flees for his life — only to be cast into a world of storms, shipwrecks, riddles, and loss.
Told by people in search of a home, this re-conceptualization of Shakespeare’s Pericles in Ellen McLaughlin’s translation embraces movement and music to tell a thrilling tale of adventure, survival, and the power of love against all odds, celebrating the resilience of the human spirit even in the darkest of times.
