A magical adventure…

This new adaptation of Shakespeare’s Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a story of being shipwrecked—over and over again. It’s about those cast reeling—broken against strange shores by unfeeling and inexorable forces…separated from everyone and everything they know.

But it’s also about reaching: reaching across the divide to those who have been taken, casting off again to find them...risking being broken again and finally swallowed by the depths. Believing there’s a shore on the other side where a light has been left on for you.

It’s about the trail of kindnesses we leave behind to light the way home.
