Summary
A BBC Radio 3 full-cast dramatisation of Shakespeare’s classic Pericles, starring Tom Mannion. Originally broadcast in November 2005 and repeated as part of the Drama on 3 collection in November 2008.
Shakespeare's romantic adventure is full of tyrants, incest, murder, knights, teenagers, pirates, brothels, sublime poetry, young love, a great hero, and the goddess Diana. A multicultural cast, world music, and the poet Benjamin Zephaniah give this timeless tale a contemporary twist.
