BookPericles, Prince of Lebanon
A play by Sami Ibrahim (with Shakespeare)“The same tales have been told for thousands of years. Nothing changes.”
A father and daughter, separated by war, scattered across borders; this is a story of survival and hope.
Pericles traces their journey from Syria to Lebanon, Turkey, Libya and Greece. Ibrahim’s new adaptation sets Shakespeare’s original verse against modern-day language, asking what happens to love when two people no longer share the words to express it.
A story we have seen play out across the centuries—and one that is still unfolding.
Featuring an international ensemble, this is Shakespeare for today.
