Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a story of a King Pericles' life and what happens to him as he visits many different countries all over the world. My inspiration for the world of Pericles is through the history of 1950s British colonialism. I used the descriptions & characteristics of the locations of Pericles found in the text and I paired them with British colonies, like Jamaica, India, South Africa, & Ghana. My goal was to created a dialogue between the original text and my research of the countries, the 1950s, and the fabrics to bring the world of the play to life.
