Synopsis
Prince Pericles of Tyre flees across the Mediterranean after solving a riddle that exposes a king's incestuous secret. Through storms, shipwrecks, and years of wandering, Pericles loses his wife and daughter and descends into mute grief, only to be miraculously reunited with both in one of Shakespeare's most moving recognition scenes. This late romance, narrated by the medieval poet Gower, is a sprawling adventure of loss, endurance, and the redemptive power of family.
