description: Bringing new life to the world's oldest story, Yusef Komunyakaa and Chad Gracia refashion a classic Sumerian legend into a verse play. In this ageless saga, Gilgamesh of Uruk, part god and part man, embarks on an otherworldly quest in search of immortality. This new version elaborates on the key themes of the story and weaves them into an emotional new form.
