Description
Adapted for The National Theatre by Carl Heap
'The world to me is like a lasting storm'
An exciting tale of shipwrecks and magic, villains and heroes, and a child's fight for survival in a foreign land. Join Pericles on his epic travels of adventure and discovery.
Primary Classics, produced by the National Theatre's Discover programme, aims to introduce children aged 7 to 11 to Shakespeare.
This version of Pericles, adapted and originally directed by Carl Heap, preserves the core of Shakespeare's plot, retains the original langauge, yet is presented very much with the target age group in mind. Carl Heap's introduction will help readers, teachers and practitioners alike to imagine or produce their own version.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English dramatist, poet, and actor, generally regarded as the greatest playwright of all time. Carl Heap is a writer-director-actor who has brought to these 5 Shakespeare adaptations for NT' Discover the experience and insights he gained from working with pre-Shakespearian popular theatre as the founding Artistic Director of the ground-breaking Medieval Players. These are skilful edits rather than translations, offering the complete story in 70 minutes without any narrative bridges, for casts of 5-7 actors.
