by William Shakespeare.
With Tim Pigott-Smith as Pericles, Angharad Rees as Marina, Michael Aldridge as Simonides, David March as Gower.
"To sing a song that old was sung from ashes ancient Gower is come ..."
Shakespeare uses the poet Gower to relate the adventures, sufferings and wanderings of the young Prince, Pericles is haunted by Fate, buffeted by storms, driven from country to country, and even, at the height of his happiness, harshly separated from his wife and baby daughter, Marina. But there are reconciling forces that lie beyond the apparent waywardness of Fortune.
