Presented by Visible Fictions
Written by Robert Forrest, directed by Douglas Irvine, designed by Robin Peoples, composed by Daniel Padden.
Jason’s uncle isn’t exactly lovable…he’s murdered his brother (the king) and stolen the crown and now no one dares stand up to him. Things are about to get a major shakeup though because Jason is BACK! After being banished as a baby, our wannabe hero returns to claim his rightful throne and make some big changes.
However, in ancient times nothing’s that straightforward. Jason and his crew must sail on The Argo to the other side of the world to find the Golden Fleece and bring it back in order to unite the people again. As if that wasn’t difficult enough, the odd monster, sleeping dragon and clashing rock endeavour to ruin his trip and spice things up on this most fantastic of journeys!
2017 will mark Jason and the Argonauts’ 11th year of touring. After the show’s premiere at Paisley Arts Centre , it has gone on to tour all over Scotland and the world including presentations at the Sydney Opera House, The New Victory on Broadway and in Canada, America and Ireland.
A quirky, funny, exciting tale – told as only Visible Fictions know how – for P6 & P7 year pupils.
