Mary Zimmerman transforms the story of Jason and the Argonauts into a mesmerizing piece of theatre. Encountering an array of daunting challenges in their “first voyage of the world,” Jason and his crew illustrate the essence of all such journeys to follow – their unpredictability, their inspiring and overwhelming breadth of emotion, and their lessons in the inevitability of failure and loss. Bursts of humor and fantastical creatures enrich a story whose characters reveal remarkable complexity.
