Backstage as Santa Cruz Shakespeare presents “Pericles”. The play by William Shakespeare and George Wilkins runs through Aug. 30 at the Audrey Stanley Grove at DeLaveaga Park, and is directed by Santa Cruz Shakespeare Artistic Director Charles Pasternak, featuring Paige Lindsey White in the title role. “Pericles” is a late romance by The Bard that continues this year’s local festival’s sweep into the mythic. The first half of this rarely performed play follows Prince Pericles’ journey through multiple kingdoms, wild adventures, desperate escapes, a magnificent love affair, a pair of storms at sea and a single shipwreck. The second half shifts some 14 years later to Pericles’ daughter, Marina, who must survive her own trials: an assassination attempt, an abduction by pirates and the violence of a brothel. By the power of her kindness, wit and virtue, she rises above each of these dangers, finally meeting her father. According to the festival’s program, “The reunion of Pericles and Marina is one of the most beautiful scenes Shakespeare ever wrote. We cannot survive alone; the coming together of father and daughter is the rebirth of a world. The play ends, indeed, with another incredible rebirth; in love and unity, miracles are possible.”
Founded in 2014 as a newly independent theatre company, SCS continues a 40-year tradition of staging bold productions of the plays of Shakespeare and other great playwrights. Throughout our history, hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, have been enthralled, engaged, and energized by what we bring to the community. Inspired by Shakespeare, we create and strengthen our community by bringing audiences and theatre artists together to celebrate stories about our collective humanity. Matching a fearless aesthetic with transparent financial responsibility, SCS is passionate about theatre that is inclusive, inquisitive, and that engages with the contemporary moment. In a true repertory company, actors play parts in most (or all) of the productions offered in any given season. Once each of the shows opens, it enters a schedule of rotating performances, so productions of multiple plays can be seen in a single week.
Along with Pericles the 2025 Santa Cruz Shakespeare season includes A Midsummer Night’s Dream, by William Shakespeare Into the Woods, music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by James Lapine; licensed by Music Theatre International and “Master Harold"...and the Boys, by Athol Fugard (Shmuel Thaler - Santa Cruz Sentinel)
