'Pericles, Prince of Tyre, Shakespeare’s seldom-performed and dubiously credited Greek epic, is a flitting and genre-blending romantic adventure about humility, sex trafficking, incest, assassination, magic, and pirates.' | DanEJakes
For scholars and dramatists, is there anything more alluring in theater than works dubbed impossible or unfinished or a problem?, Shakespeare’s seldom-performed and dubiously credited Greek epic, is a flitting and genre-blending romantic adventure about humility, sex trafficking, incest, assassination, magic, and pirates. It provides a wide creative sandbox for adapter and director Evan Jackson in Idle Muse’s first production back from a multi-year pandemic hiatus.
Besides the siren song of a deep cut, there’s an obvious draw to producing a story in 2022 about a protagonist who, instead of railing against the tides of fate, accepts the twists and turns thrown his way by the gods, ultimately to his own happy-ish ending. Jackson’s adaptation trims nearly an hour off the running time and thins the character list down to a more comprehensible brigade for double and triple-casting.
