"Timed to coincide with nightfall, Gilgamesh grows ever more seductive the deeper daytime ebbs into dusk.  Kids will love it, and visiting adults, party to this myth for what may be the first time, may feel like kids again themsleves"  Time Out

"When at the last minute Gilgamesh had his chance of eternal youth snathched away by 30ft flashing neon snake, the clouds in the sky glowered behindf St Paul's, Tower Bridge twinkled and, as the tower blocks of the city rose on the horizon, you felt that there couldn't be a more appropriate setting for this ancient yet modern tale.  the multimillion-dollar might of DreamWorks could not do it better.  There are nice touches too: on one of out treks between sites, the audience is offered fruit.  We eat together and immediately become a community - this is what Bubble does best"  The Guardian

"The settings are fine, the monsters impressive, and the puppeteers move the hands of the gods to give them a semblance of real life. There is wit in Farhana Sheikh's version too, and ingenuity in the introductory history in which three smiling narrators break the tablets and bring the fragments together"  The Times

"Part of the genius of this production is to reproduce Gilgamesh's heroic journeys over land sea, as those of the audience over urban and woodland terrain.  Meanwhile, Janis Hart's design adds colour and flamboyant ogres, rendering the style of the production halfway between kindergarten play and resourceful visual theatre.  But between Lawrence Evans' choreography and Tom Johnson's Romany music with Moorish chanting, the production also carries a primal potency, displaying both cruelty and wonder"  Evening Standard
