Pericles at Great River Shakespeare Festival
Advertisement
Join Great River Shakespeare Festival for the 2026 Festival, as we bring Shakespeare's great lost adventure, Pericles, Prince of Tyre to the professional company for the first time.
Pericles is a prince tested by every force the world can muster— treacherous kings, shipwrecks, pirates, grief, and years of wandering exile. And yet he endures. Guided by faithful friends and the stubborn pull of love, he crosses stormy seas in search of a family he fears is gone forever. Epic, tender, and deeply human, Pericles is Shakespeare's testament to resilience—the reminder that no storm lasts forever, and that what we have lost may yet find its way home. Don't miss this rare and sweeping voyage.
Arrive up to 90 minutes early and enjoy food, beverages (including alcohol), and the Green Show inside on the 1st floor. The Green Show begins approximately 45 minutes before curtain. Seating for the performance begins approximately 30 minutes prior to curtain.
