Artistic Associate Charise Greene has directed a production of William Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre at Barnard College. There is debate around this notoriously enigmatic play as to whether or not The Bard was the sole author. But regardless, we're so excited for an opportunity to see this rarely produced masterpiece!

A Little About The Show
Incest and intrigue, pirates and prostitutes, bitter revenge and providential reunions: Shakespeare's collaborative Pericles was popular in its day, scorned by Shakespeare's great rival Ben Jonson, and mysteriously omitted from the 1623 collected edition of his plays. Shakespeare's first, experimental foray into stage tragicomedy, Pericles embodies the attractions of early-modern popular theatre, and provides a uniquely challenging work for contemporary performance.
