NEW YORK TIMES (Lawrence Van Gelder)

'sophisticated and altogether winning take on an ancient Greek myth.  The audience greeted it all with giggles, guffaws, cheers and applause.'

VARIETY (Sam Thielman)

'As entertainment for kids, "Jason and the Argonauts" scores points with genuinely frightening monsters, no end of swashbuckling action and a secretly-good-for-you wealth of classical knowledge sure to please parents. As professional theater, it succeeds (as usual for the New Vic) by offering the most bang for your buck for several blocks, and by showcasing a pair of deceptively complicated performances with a minimum of bells and whistles.'

NEW YORK TIME OUT (Bret Singer)

'About three minutes into Jason and the Argonauts, my seven-year-old son leaned over and asked, "Are you writing down that this is hilarious?" I most certainly was. This liberal interpretation of the ancient myth keeps kids and their parents rolling in the aisles from start to finish.'

THE STAGE (Thom Dibdin)

'playful & inventive', 'hilarious', 'Robin People's design is superb'.

THE SCOTSMAN (Joyce McMillan)

'boasts some terrific assets, including a fabulously inventive set-design by Robin Peoples and two hugely energetic and attractive actors in Simon Donaldson and Tim Settle', 'plenty to enjoy here'.

THE TIMES (Robert Dawson Scott)

'the dragon guarding the fleece was cleverly done', 'the music is clever - a pastiche of big adventure movie themes', 'Donaldson & Settle are engaging performers'.

TES SCOTLAND (Brian Hayward)

'a weighty piece of wooden furniture, designed by Robin Peoples, starts life as an ox cart and - to great applause - turns first into the Argos and finally into the Land at the End of the World', 'the actors blitz their way through the story with a winning commitment and up-front appeal'.
