The Exaltation of Inanna - Geoffrey a Todd - Bog

- A Play in One Act

Bag om The Exaltation of Inanna

This play is set in a tavern in ancient Ur, near in time and place to the beginning of recorded history. The action of the play borders on the experimental, as it concerns the elevation in rank of a lowly slave to the highest levels of society in the confines of a single room. The mythology and imagery of the play reflect what we know of ancient Sumerian mythology, craftsmanship, and costume. The dialogue is enhanced by the rhythmic meter of the words, which includes the exploration of the caesura as a dramatic device. Because there is nudity in the play, it is certainly not for everyone. However, it is hoped that for many the experience of seeing the play performed--whether on stage or in one's mind--will at least be provocative, and perhaps, for some, profound.
