Shakespeare's renowned romance, "Pericles," takes us on a captivating journey alongside Pericles, the Prince of Tyre, as he embarks on a series of thrilling adventures across the majestic Mediterranean Sea. With unwavering determination, Pericles faces a multitude of heroic challenges, driven by his unwavering love for his wife and child. Ellen McLaughlin's masterful translation breathes new life into Shakespeare's text, untangling complex syntax and unveiling the profound poetry that lies within. This translation serves as a bridge between the contemporary world and the iconic play, transporting audiences back to the era in which it was first experienced by Shakespeare's audiences.
"Pericles" was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, an ambitious endeavor that aimed to commission new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. The goal of this project was to bring Shakespeare's timeless works to modern audiences in a language that is accessible and engaging while preserving the beauty and elegance of his verse. To achieve this, a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from various backgrounds collaborated to reimagine Shakespeare for the twenty-first century.
The result is a series of volumes that present these works in print for the first time, creating a new First Folio for a new era. These translations aim to redefine Shakespeare's legacy and make his plays accessible to a broader audience, while also preserving the essence of his artistic brilliance. Through McLaughlin's meticulous translation and the collaborative efforts of the Play On! project, audiences are invited to embark on a journey through time, experiencing Shakespeare's timeless tales in a fresh and vibrant way.
