Pericles is about a former king who lost everything. Humanity and hope are all he has left. It is a remarkable story that could be anybody’s.

Pericles, directed by Philip Parr, is a contemporary reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s play, set in an uncertain land of memories and dreams. The show follows the journey of the Prince of Tiron, a wandering hero in a chaotic and sometimes fantastic world marked by suffering, loss and miracles. Facing storms and dangers, Pericles goes through trials that change him, tear him apart and perhaps define him. His story, although personal, resonates universally and explores themes of identity, destiny and regeneration, within a setting that is ever-changing, double-edged from the extraordinary to the ordinary.
