Summery of the content
On the basis of the Old Testament the play tells the story about the tower that was never finished. The King of Babylon Nabopolassar wants his kingdom to become the biggest of the world and Babylon the most magnificent city in the world. He, therefore, orders his highest general to conquer other kingdoms and his chief architect to build higher walls and bigger houses. But most important was the construction of a tower so immense that it would have its top in the heavens. When God discovers this, he punishes men for their megalomania and confuses their languages. In the end they could not understand each other any- more.

Number of rolls and duration of a performance
“The Tower of Babel” assigns parts to 24 children. This number can be decreased by reducing the number of soldier/worker roles. The duration of a performance is around 20 minutes.
