Pericles

Product Description

'One sin, I know, another doth provoke; Murder's as near to lust as flame to smoke'

Pericles, Prince of Tyre, must solve a riddle in order to marry, or be put to death. But when the answer reveals a horrific secret, the young man faces his greatest dilemma. Danger and adventure follow as Pericles flees the city to find his fortune elsewhere, in a fast-paced, emotionally charged drama of families lost and reunited, evil punished and virtue rewarded.

'Shakespeare is woven into our history, our most private selves . . . he is everywhere.' Dominic Dromgoole
