Argonautika: The Voyage of Jason and the Argonauts

As in her Tony Award-winning Metamorphoses, Mary Zimmerman transforms Greek mythology--here the story of Jason and the Argonauts--into a mesmerizing piece of theater. 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, their lessons in the inevitability of failure and loss.
