These dramatic works, The Tower of Gilgamesh and The Acts of Gilgamesh, take place in Sumer (now southern Iraq), where it is said that civilization began: the first writing, numbering, and accounting systems, the first literature, and, for better or worse, the Tower of Babel. Loosely based on the Gilgameshlegend, together the plays form a comedic tragedy exploring--with humor, imagination, and spirited language--ideas about free will, love, creativity, friendship, and religion.
