WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Lookingglass Ensemble member Mary Zimmerman brings us Argonautika. An older story and a stranger one than The Odyssey, Argonautika recounts the adventures of Jason and his crew aboard the Argo on a perilous mission to cross the forbidden ocean in their quest for the Golden Fleece. There is danger at every turn as they encounter sea monsters and water nymphs, wicked and savage kings, a city of women and an army of warriors sprung from the earth. But no danger proves as great as the overwhelming love of a young sorceress named Medea. Join Jason and his crew aboard the Argo for the world's first sea voyage.

With her delightful
Argonautika, now receiving its world premiere production at Chicago's Lookingglass Theatre Company, Mary Zimmerman returns to the turf she likes best -- although, in this case, the "turf" happens to be the ocean. Those familiar with Zimmerman's Broadway and regional work, most notably the Tony Award-winning Metamorphoses, know that she's most at home among the antique classics of Western Civilization. So it's not surprising that, this time she has focused on the ancient Greek myths of Jason and his band of sailor-heroes, the Argonauts, in their quest for the Golden Fleece.
As adapter, Zimmerman taps the ancient Latin authors Gaius Valerius Flaccus and Apollonius Rhodiu[...]
