Pericles

See it if you feel compelled to check this Shakespeare off your bucket list; you'll feel like you never have to see it again!

Don't see it if you like strong acting;the verse is badly spoken (one of the lead's has a serious speech impediment).This could have been fun, but wasn't.

See it if you want a Trevor Nunn spectacle. Masterful staging. An epic tale of adventure. Skillful character acting. Christian Camargo is riveting.
