North Carolina Stage Company brings Shakespeare’s Pericles to Amherst's Holden Theater for one weekend only. Pericles is an epic story of one man’s quest to solve a riddle-- a quest that takes him on a high-seas odyssey, complete with shipwrecks, assassins, pirates, romance, and the heartbreaking story of a family torn apart. The production is the creation of director Ron Bashford and the NC Stage cast, who worked together to create an imaginative, five-actor version that the Asheville Citizen-Times called “a spectacular experience of cutting-edge theater.”
Tickets are free, but reservations are recommended; call 413-542-2277. The production runs Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m., with an additional matinee performance on Saturday at 2 p.m.
