Pericles re-imagined for everyone aged six and over (2011)
2 July – 23 July
William Shakespeare
Our young audiences were taken on an odyssey adventure when Natalie Abrahami directed a new adaptation of Shakespeare's Pericles re-imagined for everyone aged six and over. Although staying true to Shakespeare's original text, the 'scripted moments of salty lyricism appear washed newly clean like seashells on a warm and pleasant shore' (Time Out). With just six actors, this epic tale was brought to life for all ages.
