DESCRIPTION
A reimagined 1 Act Musical of the timeless story of David and Saul. Set in a renaissance time with a modern twist of original songs and action, David, a teenage shepherd boy is anointed by God to be future King of His people. David rises to prominence when he defeats the giant Goliath. Saul, the reigning king, becomes increasingly jealous of David’s success and popularity. Despite David’s loyalty and heart for Saul, the king's paranoia leads him to pursue David relentlessly. Eventually, Saul's reign ends in tragedy, and David takes his place as King, ushering in a new era of leadership and conquering the hearts of his people.
