Sunday, August 10th at 4:00PM in Central Park, bring a picnic dinner and watch Shakespeare in the Park “Pericles” - it starts at 5:00PM

Pericles: Shakespeare’s
grand tale of heroic adventure!

Forced to flee for his life as a young man, Prince Pericles
embarks on an epic journey that leads him from a tragic
shipwreck to a joyful marriage and from the loss of his
beloved daughter to a surprising reunion. Along the way he encounters many memorable characters, from
clownish fishermen to dancing suitors to roguish pirates! Ultimately good triumphs over evil, jealousy and vice are
punished, and faithfulness and virtue are rewarded.
