Pericles begins his
quest when the King of Antioch offers his daughter’s hand in marriage to any
man who can solve his riddle. With all the elements of a good adventure, this
is the epic story of one man as he tries to solve a mystery that takes him on a
journey that spans the globe. He finds himself in a world complete with
villains and heroes, pirates and kings. This is an adventure you don’t want to
miss.
This production
started as an exciting vision by director Ron Bashford. He and a group of
professional actors did workshops around the text to create a bold,
imaginative, and playful interpretation of this Shakespearean adventure story.
Says Artistic Director Charlie
Flynn-McIver, “Shakespeare is often approached like
a novel: as literature. And that's a problem! The best way to
understand Shakespeare is on stage. The process the actors have worked
through makes the language crystal clear. In rehearsal, I have been moved
to laughter and tears by the other actors with the truth and clarity they are
bringing to the text.”
North Carolina Stage Company is Asheville’s only professional
equity theatre celebrating its 13th year producing plays for the Asheville

Flynn-McIver, the theatre has been voted best local theatre 9 out of the past
