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're a Shakespeare fan, anxious to see a rarely performed play get a good looking, dynamic production; you're a Trevor Nunn fan

See it if You like inventive spectacle, gorgeous costumes, well spoken text in rarely staged Shakespeare

Don't see it if You don't want to be up close & personal with shipwrecks, bordellos, & pirates

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

Don't see it if you don't get Shakespeare and can't sit still for more than 2 hours. The convoluted plot is actually fun and the narration is wonderful.

See it if If you want a well-executed production of Pericles. It's certainly beautiful and focused. The flaws are really within the play itself.

Don't see it if terrible performances (Marina), boring music, sloppy staging, or any number of other theatrical sins annoy you.

See it if You want to see what a great director can do with mediocre Shakespeare and an uneven cast. It may be your only chance to see this play.
