A father's fabulous odyssey

Pericles, Prince of Tyre, sets out to woo a princess and sails headlong into harrowing adventure. Pursued by an evil king, Pericles is blown from port to exotic port. Along the way, he finds the love of his life, then loses her and their infant daughter in a storm-tossed sea. Happily,this is a Romance—Shakespeare’s first—where in true storybook fashion, miracles reunite the lost with those who love them, bringing joy and safe harbor at last.

Duración: Dos horas con 20 minutos, incluyendo un intemedio.

Una odisea fabulosa de un padre


Pericles, Príncipe de Tyre, sale de viaje a cortejar a una princesa, y navega precipitadamente a una aventura horrenda. Perseguido por un rey malévolo, el viento lleva a Pericles de puerto en exótico puerto. En el camino, encuentra al amor de su vida, y luego la pierde a ella y a su hijita recién nacida en un mar tempestuoso. Felizmente, esta obra es un Romance – el primero de Shakespeare – en donde, fiel a las tradiciones de los libros de cuentos, unos milagros vuelven a reunir a los perdidos con sus más queridos, entregándoles la alegría y el puerto seguro al final.
