We're heading back to Chicago for the first time in 30 years with Tamara Harvey’s RSC directorial debut, Pericles.
Shakespeare’s tale of an epic voyage is a fitting choice for the first play in three decades to make the leap across the Atlantic, from Stratford-upon-Avon to Chicago.
Following its opening at the Swan Theatre in July 2024, our Co-Artistic Director Tamara Harvey’s vision of the mystical Pericles will transfer to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater in October 2024.
The play's exclusive seven-week run continues a historic collaboration between the RSC and Chicago, which goes back more than 100 years.
Pericles marks Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s 100th international production.
Pericles opens at the Swan Theatre on 26 July 2024, and transfers to The Chicago Shakespeare Theater 20 October - 8 December 2024.
