It tells of the prowess of King Gilgamesh and his acquisition of a friend, Enkidu, and their adventures in the wilderness, battling monsters and searching for immortality. Adapted by Jeremy Howe, from the English version by Stephen Mitchell, the drama is prefaced by the voices and opinions of writers, archaeologists and scholars about the history and context of the epic poem.
