Synopsis

Ms. Gower’s 1st grade class proudly presents Pericles by William Shakespeare!

A classic is restored as a group of hyper and unfocused children try their best at performing a lighthearted and comical version of the traditional tale.

Narrated by their teacher, Ms. Gower, the story follows Pericles’ travels and adventures.

From saving starving nations by delivering fast food, to gallantly fighting knights with his plastic sword, to winning over hearts with his dance skills, this clever play-within-a-play is a well-crafted ball of mayhem, perfect for theatrical competitions or pleasing your audience.

The final moments will warm your heart as the performance brings together the once disorderly class and changes the life of the most misbehaved student.
