Best Answer

It's a kind of rambling story about Pericles, the Prince of Tyre, who exposes an incestuous relationship between a man and his daughter, wins a wife in a jousting competition, then loses her in a shipwreck, has a daughter, places her with some supposedly trustworthy people who sell her to a brothel, and finally just when he feels totally depressed becomes reunited with both wife and daughter.

Yeah, there's a reason you don't see it on stage very often.
