Pericles, Prince of Tyre

Village Theater at Cherry Hill, Detroit

Description – Young Prince Pericles of Tyre survives a shipwreck and lands in Pentapolis where the King is having a tournament to find the best knight to wed his lovely daughter, Thaisa. Pericles enters the tournament and wins the love of his life. For the next twenty years – and a few more shipwrecks – Pericles, Thaisa, and their daughter Marina suffer separation and tragedy until they finally find reconciliation and redemption. A seldom produced Shakespeare – with parts contributed by other playwrights – Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a glorious example of the pageantry and theatrical style of the Jacobean era – filled with magic, fairy tale intrigues, and unforgettable characters.

Bard Talks – held in the Biltmore Studio beginning at 7 p.m. before all Friday and Saturday evening regular performances. Plan to arrive early as the Artistic Director and other company members share insights about the theatrical history of the plays and the theatrical techniques that are being used in the productions.

Talk Backs – held after all preview and matinee performances. Chat with the directors, actors and designers; and get a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes!
