[NEohioPAL] PERHAPS, PERICLES Opens This Weekend at Kennedy's

[Greg Cesear]

Cesear’s Forum will open PERHAPS, PERICLES,
attributed to William Shakespeare and George Wilkins, as adapted by Greg Cesear,
at Kennedy’s Down Under, Playhouse Square, Cleveland, Ohio, this weekend April 5th & 6th, and continue a limited
April/May engagement.  The play centers
on the role of family in society, individual identity and epic storytelling.  In the production adaptation, four actors
begin to read and analyze the text, streamlining the action.  PERHAPS, PERICLES, lends itself to comedy
while still maintaining the psychological and political journey of its drama.

The extent of collaboration between Shakespeare
and Wilkins is unknown, as is the textual amalgamation.  The play has proven popular, largely because
the story’s context allows for  production interpretation.  Cesear’s Forum will approach the work with characteristic
minimalism.  The Cleveland cast includes:
John Kolibab, Tricia Bestic, Gilgamesh Taggett and Rachel Wolin. The production
will be staged by Artistic Director Greg Cesear, with a setting by Michael
LaRochelle, lighting by Andrew Kaletta and costumes by Aimee Kluiber.  The production is sponsored, in part, by
Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, the Bonne Bell Family Foundation and the Ohio Arts
Council.
