Pericles
The wandering Prince of Tyre survives storms, pirates, and years of separation before finding his lost wife and daughter in one of Shakespeare's most wonder-filled romances.
Pericles stands out among Shakespeare's works for its episodic structure and reliance on a Chorus figure to guide audiences through exotic locations and impossible reunions, making it a favorite of outdoor summer festivals and experimental theater companies that embrace its fairy-tale staging possibilities. This page connects you with 2026 productions across the U.S. and Canada where you can experience this shipwreck-and-redemption story live, from regional theaters to Shakespeare festivals planning their summer lineups.
