Britweek: Pericles at Berkeley Rep - Cocktail Reception and Performance

Berkeley Repertory Theatre presents a special Britweek performance of their compelling production of Shakespeare’s Pericles, Prince of Tyre.
 

Directed by Brit Mark Wing Davey, this riveting, nimble take on Shakespeare’s last play promises to deliver ‘action, adventure, emotion and awe’. A virtuous man clings to the mast of a storm-tossed ship as his family reels from palace to brothel to a sacred Greek temple. Knights and pirates, villains and kings…Discover the excitement of Shakespeare all over again in Pericles. Despite the tides of fate, the good guys are “led on by heaven and crown’d with joy at last”.
 

Berkeley Rep is a Tony Award-winning nonprofit regional theatre in Berkeley.


Mark Wing Davey is an Obie Award-winning director who has previously served up such diverse works as Mad Forest, The Beaux’ Stratagem and 36 Views.
