Missouri River Pericles

<p>Judith's star has risen in the theater world to where she directs the state-sponsored company Roughrider Stage in Bismarck. She's hoping to mount a production of Shakespeare's play <em>Pericles</em> and keen to set it among Native tribes along the Missouri River in a time before the arrival of Europeans-if only she can put together funding. The play is very personal to her as her husband's early life parallels Shakespeare's hero in powerful ways. Myron is the state's agriculture commissioner and is about to upend their lives when he's recruited to run for a U.S. Senate seat. Myron's past will come to more than just haunt their present and soon their life begins to resemble the tale of <em>Pericles</em> more than either of them ever imagined. Will the story of <em>Pericles</em> on the stage be the only one to achieve a happy end?</p>
