The Adventures of Jason and the Argonauts by Phil Willmott
Clamber aboard the mighty Argo to join heroic Prince Jason, plucky Princess Medea, Hercules and all the gang for a lively re-telling of the greatest adventure story ever told! Our heroes must overcome monsters, tricksters and tempests if they are to capture the Golden Fleece, defeat Jason's evil uncle and win back the kingdom. Seen in 2009 at the Scoop, as part of the More London Free Festival, this 80-minute free adaptation of the old story is a light-hearted romp into which can be inserted your own choice of songs and dances. Humour and easy puppetry overcome the difficulties of a fire-breathing bull, a dragon and an army of skeletons!Phil Willmott is a multi-award winning director, artistic director, playwright, composer, librettist, teacher, dramaturg, arts journalist.... and occasional actor.
