Shakespeare Unbard, Ep. 32: Pericles is a mess - but who do we blame?

Most likely written with a collaborator, Pericles: Prince of Tyre is a dramatic hodgepodge, a mash-up of myth and fairy tales that has the distinction of being one of the few complete dramatic failures in the canon. In this episode, Joel examines the dramatic question of whether Pericles can - or should - ever be staged.

In this episode, you'll hear excerpts and clips from:

  • Pericles, Prince of Tyre. Arkangel. 2006

  • Shakespeare, William. Pericles: Prince of Tyre. The Riverside Shakespeare, Houghton and Mifflin, 1974.
