Pericles

Pericles begins in Antioch, where Prince Pericles of Tyre must unravel a riddle to win the hand of a princess. But when Pericles discovers King Antiochus and his daughter’s terrible secret, he must flee for his life. Pericles sets sail-traveling from kingdom to kingdom-falling in love with a princess (Thaisa) and conceiving a child (Marina). After a terrible storm strikes their ship at sea, father, mother and daughter are separated. The family spends 14 years apart before finally being reunited in a joyous scene considered unsurpassed in the beauty of its language. David Muse directs.
