Unmythable is an outrageously physical, hilarious, and masterful retelling of the most famous stories from Greek mythology. This one-hour mashup of the greatest Greek myths packs a big punch with an unforgettable blend of sketch comedy, clowning, stories, and songs.
Jason and his crew set sail aboard the famous Argo on a mission to recover the Golden Fleece, only to come face-to-face with the ancient world’s most formidable figures. Medusa, Persephone, Hades, Medea, and many more are brought to life by two actors who relive the capture of Troy, the creation and punishment of humanity, and the blinding of a certain one-eyed monster. Are you ready to meet a legend?
