Pericles

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

One of Shakespeare’s most adventurous and least staged plays, Pericles follows a young prince forced into exile after uncovering a deadly royal secret. What follows is a sweeping journey across oceans and kingdoms marked by storms, shipwrecks, separation, survival, and ultimately reunion.

This re-conceptualization of Shakespeare’s Pericles in Ellen McLaughlin’s gorgeous translation embraces movement and music to tell a thrilling adventure tale that celebrates the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.
