THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH

STORYTELLING EVENING - with the South London Storytellers.

As part of the Festival of the Dead

The oldest story in the world, written on clay tablets and buried in the sand for nearly 4,000 years, tells the tale of Gilgamesh, the tyrant King of Uruk. Two thirds God one third man, no-one can challenge him. Until a wild man is created to be his equal. A story of friendship, hubris , grief, and the subversive power of women and the Gods. Explored and shared by five local storytellers. Truly, a story for our times.
