| Description |
"'Gilgamesh', a brutal piece of theatre, is the second of Uncle Semolina and Friends' 'Minutia Projects', which combine toys and models with high powered physical acting to tell epic tales.... An ancient Sumerian myth, Gilgamesh is the story of a ruler so powerful, arrogant and brutal that the gods create an equal in order to re-balance the world. A violent battle morphs into male bonding and paves the way for a series of reckless adventures shared by two powerful friends." |
