Pericles, Prince of Tyre
"Pericles, Prince of Tyre" by William Shakespeare is a Jacobean play written at least in part around 1608-1609. The story follows Prince Pericles as he flees from a deadly secret, survives storms and shipwrecks, and endures profound loss across the Mediterranean. When he discovers dangerous knowledge about a corrupt king, Pericles begins a journey of exile that separates him from those he loves most. Through adventures involving pirates, brothels, and divine intervention, the play explores themes of separation, suffering, and miraculous reunion across generations.
