Stratford: The Stratford Festival holds a viewing party for “Pericles” on June 25

Tuesday, June 23, 2020

Filled with music and brilliant spectacle, this epic story follows a fairy-tale hero on a miraculous journey to one of literature’s most poignant reunions. Evan Buliung gives a sweeping performance, portraying the dashing young prince with verve and swagger, and taking him into his elder years with sorrowful tenderness. “Moving and fun from beginning to end” (Broadway World), it is a story rarely told, and one you won’t soon forget.
