“Theater can and should offer us hope and joy and this play has a strange power in those terms. It transports us and takes us through storms literal and metaphorical, through grief, through loss. But in the end, it does offer this breathtaking moment of hope and reunion and it ends with the words, ‘new joy wait on you.’” -Royal Shakespeare Company Co-Artistic Director Tamara Harvey
With ‘Pericles,’ the Royal Shakespeare Company and Chicago Shakes begin a new transatlantic collaboration
