This spring, at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Obie Award-winning director MarK Wing-Davey brings the Bard back with a bang. William Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre is currently in previews on the intimate Thrust Stage and opens April 17, running through May 26 in a production conceived by Wing-Davey with Jim Calder. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Action, adventure, emotion, and awe... Expect that and more when MarK Wing-Davey brings a nimble take on Shakespeare to Berkeley Rep. The Obie-winning director served up such diverse works as Mad Forest, The Beaux' Stratagem, and 36 Views. Now he delivers a riveting look at Pericles, Prince of Tyre. A virtuous man clings to the mast of a storm-tossed ship as his family reels from palace to brothel to a sacred Greek temple. Knights and pirates, villains and kings... Discover the excitement of Shakespeare all over again. We promise: despite the tides of fate, the good guys are "led on by heaven and crown'd with joy at last."

Tickets to Pericles, Prince of Tyre start at only $29. Additional savings are available for groups, seniors, students, and anyone under 30 years of age - meaning discounted tickets can be obtained for as little as $14.50. The Thrust Stage is located at 2025 Addison Street, near bus lines, bike routes, and parking lots - and only half a block from BART. For tickets or information, call (510) 647-2949 or simply click berkeleyrep.org.
