Given all the slapstick in this staging (jousting with pool noodles, silly sound effects, outrageous costumes, sending a coffin to a sea burial down a playground slide, tossing a babe-in-arms around like a fumbled football), the endless choruses of What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor in which the audience is encouraged to participate, the deliberately absurd doubling, it might almost seem at times that children are the target demographic here. But grownups will not be bored.
The company will present The Adventures of Pericles, a family-friendly, 90-minute version of William Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre, directed by CSC Resident Director Matthew R. Wilson.
Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is at 7 S. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD.
