Pericles
by William Shakespeare

One of the Bard’s great romantic comedies, the play spans the life of Pericles, Prince of Tyre. King Antiochus presents the young Pericles with a riddle as a prerequisite to winning the hand of his daughter. Solve the riddle and he wins the daughter, fail and Pericles is put to death. Just one problem, the solution to the riddle reveals a shameful secret of the King and so, either way that Pericles answers, his life is in danger. Stalling for time, Pericles leaves the kingdom and sets out on a lifelong journey around the Mediterranean full of fantastical experiences.

Skin of Our Teeth
by Thornton Wilder

The Antrobus family and their maid, Sabina, continue to delight audiences as they conquer ever mounting global catastrophes from their humble home in Excelsior, New Jersey. With this play, which was written well before its time, Wilder has crafted a madcap comedy with hard edges, which has become a timeless statement about human endeavor and hope – and the imperishable vitality of live theatre.
