On the eve of battle with Israel’s traditional enemies the Philistines, King Saul seeks the guidance of the dead prophet Samuel. But Samuel has no words of comfort for him. Instead, he reminds Saul why the Lord has rejected him as king of Israel, handing the kingdom to another: David, the shepherd boy with a talent for playing the harp
and slaying giants…

Saul, watch and learn! See for yourself the origin of your kingship. Then watch and see how you yourself turned your back on God, to understand why he turned his back on you!

Together, Saul and Samuel reenact the key moments of Saul’s life, with Samuel providing God’s perspective on events each step of the way.

This dramatic and moving play is a work of enacted biblical interpretation that sheds light on Saul’s failure as king of Israel while providing insight into the book of 1 Samuel as a whole.
