The Forest with the Big Hill presents...

Back by popular demand, renowned storyteller Ben Haggarty returns to south east London to present his award-winning retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh. Ben Haggarty’s unscripted and physical performance is packed with passion and quick–witted humour - a startling offering from a pioneering master of contemporary storytelling.

Gilgamesh, the story of a bored tyrant ruling a city so beautiful that even the gods choose to make it their home, is a beguiling exploration into the nature of power; the search for eternal life; the threat of apocalypse, and the gods' deepest secrets.
