Five plays showcasing characters from the reign of biblical King David


In these fascinating, moving and insightful plays, a different light is shone on the famous King. From the original mission of King Saul to find the shepherd boy after Samuel's prophecy, to David's final days of sickness and neglect, and taking in his days of war raids and spying as well as his loves and losses as his wives battle for status and attention, the tales bring to life a man who is all too often shown as a figure of myth rather than a flawed and passionate human.
