Om bidragsyterne
YUSEF KOMUNYAKAA is a professor in the creative writing department at New York University. CHAD GRACIA is a theater producer and consultant. He has edited six verse plays and writes extensively on theater.
Bringing new life to the world's oldest story, Yusef Komunyakaa and Chad Gracia have refashioned a classic Sumerian legend into a compelling verse play. In this ageless saga, Gilgamesh of Uruk, part god and part man, embarks on an other-worldly quest in search of immortality. This new version elaborates on the key themes of the story and weaves them into a vibrant and emotional new form. Wesleyan's edition of Gilgamesh is like no other and will take its place among the most powerful and engaging interpretations of this timeless tale.

The first dramatic adaptation of Gilgamesh
"Unique, powerful, and beautifully succinct, this Gilgamesh is marked by Komunyakaa's personal style and vision. He and Gracia wipe the dust off of the old broken cuneiform tablets and make the characters in the epic come alive." RICHARD CECIL, author of Twenty First Century Blues"
