Additional information:
groundwater productions is proud to present Erin Shields' adaptation of the world's oldest recorded story.  Gilgamesh Part 1, directed by Gideon Arthurs, will be presented at this year's SummerWorks Festival from August 6-16, 2009. 

REQUIRED:

Enkidu - Male, 20s-30s - Gilgamesh's mirror reflection, Enkidu is a wild-man created by the Gods to temper Gilgamesh's malaise.  Imbued with animal strength and filled with almost inconceivable vitality, Enkidu is eventually tamed and taught the ways of the civilized.  Naïve and innocent, Enkidu becomes fiercely loyal to Gilgamesh.

Shamhat - Female, 20s-30s - Priestess of Ishtar and servant/lover to Gilgamesh, Shamhat tames Enkidu through her temple-taught lovemaking skills.  Shamhat is perhaps the person closest to Gilgamesh before Enkidu's arrival.  Wise beyond her years, Shamhat sees the folly of Gilgamesh's ways but is in his servitude through both her station in life and her affection to him.

Gilgamesh - Male, 20s-30s - the original Alpha male, the part-God ruler of Uruk and strongest man in the known world.  Gilgamesh's uncontested power creates in him a deep malaise, and yearning for something more, even as he aggressively claims his rights as a supreme ruler over his people.  Gilgamesh is a living specimen of perfect masculinity, capable of wrestling a bull to the ground and tearing away its flesh with his bare hands.
