Pursued by an evil king, Pericles sets sail on an odyssey of romance and spectacle. But dangers face him on every seashore as he drifts from country to country, from year to year, from intrigue to intrigue. His loves die. His friends deceive him. The gods are against him. But, in true storybook fashion, miracles reunite loved ones, bringing joy and safe harbor at last.
All performances are free and open to the public. Running time: 90 minutes. Fun for the whole family. Bring a blanket or low chair and picnic fare and enjoy a Shakespeare play in the open air.
