It starts with an innocent riddle. But the answer is deadly and when Pericles uncovers the terrible truth he flees the land of Antioch and sets in motion an adventure full of love, peril and perseverance that reverberates across three nations. With a troupe of tumbling and swirling circus performers, Shakespeare in Clark Park brings to life Pericles’ windswept tale of shipwrecks, chivalry and family finally found.
