Wooden O/Seattle Shakespeare: The company will perform “Pericles” at 7 p.m. July 13 at the Lynndale Park Amphitheater, 18927 72nd Ave. W., Lynnwood. Admission is free. Set sail on the high seas for a summer adventure. Prince Pericles romances maidens, gets chased from port to port, finds his true love, and then loses her and his infant daughter in the storm-tossed sea. With only the stars and his heart as a guide, Pericles charts one man’s epic lifetime voyage to reunite with the family he thought he had lost forever.

In the play, Antipholus and his sidekick Dromio find themselves in Ephesus, where people from their hometown, Syracuse, are excluded under pain of death. Unbeknowst to them or anybody else, they both have an identical twin already living in Ephesus, by extraordinary coincidence also named Antipholus and Dromio. A hilarious day of mistaken identities and giddy confusion ensues. More information is at www.lastleaf99.org.
