Pericles. Young Actors in Training
Description
I am great with woe, and shall deliver weeping, says the Prince of Tyre, hero of Shakespeare's wide-ranging, episodic drama. Act V, Scene 1, in which Pericles realizes that he stands face-to-face with his daughter, Marina, is the poignant heart of this roll-up-your-sleeves acting lesson. Students from leading London drama schools rehearse and perform the scene with the help of professional mentors, then examine its essence in a vigorous group conversation. Acknowledging issues of authorship and character development, the video holds up Pericles' basic humanity and determination as the principal strengths of the play.
