Pericles

Pericles, Prince of Tyre, is a late romance play by William Shakespeare, believed to be co-authored with George Wilkins. It follows Pericles through a series of trials: shipwrecks, riddles, marriages, and long-lost family reunions. The play’s episodic structure and themes of suffering, redemption, and divine providence make it one of Shakespeare’s more mythical and symbolic works. Though less frequently performed, Pericles resonates with its tale of endurance, grace, and the eventual restoration of order and joy.
