The Romance Cycle: Part 2, Pericles
March 28, 2003 – June 1, 2003
Charles Newell's Joyous Adaptation of Shakespeare's Romances
by Williams Shakespeare
Adapted and Directed by Charles Newell
The Romance Cycle is a journey through Shakespeare's two earliest Romances, Cymbeline and Pericles. Both plays take place in mythical, almost fairy-tale, settings and tell gripping edge-of-your-seat stories. Their tales of love, loss and family reconciliation unite them creating an epic theatrical experience. Their plots are a series of exciting episodes: like the tales in Arabian Nights and Ovid's Metamorphoses the journey rather than the journey's end drives the story-telling.
