Following 200 years of rule by judges or seers, the people of Israel demanded a king. God, speaking through Judge Samuel, warned against a kingship but eventually allowed the people to have their way. Saul was Israel's first king. The plays deals with Saul's tragic kingship. He attempts to maintain his power, but comes into conflict with God, the prophets, the powerful Judge Samuel, children Jonathan and Michal, and above all the young man who will eventually replace him: the multi-talented soldier, poet, musician, politician, and religious David. The ingredients of this play make for great drama: murder, betrayal, compassion and love, want of power, depression, father/son relationships, wars, and jealousy.
