Welcome to the fourth episode of the Play On Podcasts Series Pericles.

Synopsis:

Bereft of his bride, Pericles surrenders her body to the sea and makes for Tarsus to ride out the storm. There, he gives over care of his newborn daughter, Marina, to Cleon and Dionyza, who vow to care for her as their own. Meanwhile, Thaisa’s coffin washes ashore at Ephesus, where it is retrieved by a group of physicians led by Cerimon. Together, they open the casket and discover that Thaisa is alive. Presuming her husband is drowned upon the sea, she takes a vow of chastity at Diana’s temple. Marina, now grown, is the envy of all of Tarsus, much to the chagrin of the vengeful Dionyza.
