Richard Trouncer brings to life the story of King David, one of the epics of ancient literature, in all its disturbing detail. A tale of ambition, betrayal, passion and regret which confronts us with the realities of power and tragedy of our choices.
A non religious retelling of the life of a remarkably complex character who is usually only remembered as a giant slayer. The story traces David's charmed childhood, outlaw youth, regal coming of age, adulterous mid-life, doomed family and failing infirmity. David's charisma, cunning and determination make his character flaws, and the resulting disasters, all the more tragic.
The set is composed of two forty five minute halves, contains infrequent sexually explicit language, rape, incest, adultery, murder and is certainly not suitable for kids.
