Hi-De-Hi! Jason And the Argonauts Scream Of the ButterflyHi-De-Hi!
t's the start of a new season and founder Joe Maplin announces that he is setting up a camp in the Bahamas. He needs female yellowcoats to go and work out there and the annual "Miss Yellowcoat" competition will decide who is to go. Rivalry between the girls is fierce, with Sylvia and Gladys joint forerunners to win the coveted yellow sash. Camp cleaner Peggy, meanwhile, is thrilled at the prospect of a vacancy for a new yellowcoat and convinces entertainments Manager Jeffrey that she is the ideal candidate for the job. Ted is forced to employ numerous money-making schemes when his ex wife turns up at the camp with a bailiff in tow and Yvonne and Barry Stuart-Hargreaves send the rumour mill into overdrive when they overhear Gladys escorting Jeffrey into his chalet late one evening. Hi-de-hi, campers!

Top of PageJason And the Argonauts
Synopsis:
Return to an age of daringly short skirts in this spectacular musical of love, treachery and adventure featuring a gorgeous golden boy and several sexually frustrated goddesses. Complete with Giants, Monsters, Serpent and Harpies, this irreverent treatment of the classic Greek myth follows Jason the jumped-up avenger as he sets out on the seemingly impossible task of retrieving the Golden Fleece to regain his rightful crown from the cruel King Pelias. Allied to Jason on his quest for the elevated rug is a band of lovable misfits called 'The Argonauts', the strange and beautiful Medea and Hera, Queen of the Goddesses. Wait a minute - two women, one man... that could be a problem.
