Welcome to the second episode of the Play On Podcasts Series Pericles.
Synopsis:
Pericles arrives in Tarsus on a Peace vessel filled with stores of wheat and grain which he offers to feed the starving people of Tarsus, thus winning the loyalty and adoration of King Cleon, Queen Dionyza, and all their subjects. His respite is brief, as Helicanus sends word from Tyre that Antiochus’s forces are in hot pursuit and Pericles must flee again. Taking to sea once more, his ship is wrecked by a violent storm, leaving him the sole survivor on the shores of Pentapolis, where he is rescued and clothed by a group of fishermen. They discover Pericles’s shield with his coat of armor in their nets, providing him with one single possession by which to vouch for his name. So cloaked, Pericles goes to the palace of the good King Simonides, who is holding a jousting tournament in honor of his daughter.
