Overview

Marking the debut show of ensemble theatre group Nevermind Company, this new production of Shakespeare’s classic will take audiences on a rampant, unrepentant, rollicking musical adventure.

PERICLES (kind of) is a rapid un-telling? re-telling? mis-telling? of Shakespeare’s stormy story.

Traditionally, Pericles follows a wandering prince who flees an incestuous king. Survives storms and shipwrecks. Escapes assassins. Wins deadly jousts! Falls in and out of love. Endures another storm. Is bested by Pirates? All ending in a brothel? A tale of true virtue!

Through centuries of adaptations this story has changed surprisingly little… for Pericles. In this new telling however, Pericles has his work cut out for him.

Part Operation Mincemeat, part The Play That Goes Wrong, part The Princess Bride, PERICLES (kind of) is a musical that entertains, delights & ultimately leaves the audience wondering: is that really how the story goes?
