MCO Productions Presents:

The Warrior

Synopsis:

David, Israel’s beloved warrior king fights the necessary battles in order to secure the safety of his nation. He is a hero to young Uriah whose goal is to ultimately become a mighty warrior like David.
As the years pass, David’s family increases with new wives and concubines until he has his own “City of David” within the walls of Jerusalem. One day David notices Uriah’s beautiful new bride, Bathsheba, and wants to meet her. When Bathsheba ends up pregnant, David tries to fix the problem by sending for Uriah.
But Uriah, now a warrior in David’s army, refuses to go home to his wife. Instead, he sleeps in the courtyard, believing he is passing a “mighty man” test. David then sends Uriah to the hottest part of the battle to be killed. Eventually, David’s secret sin backfires, causing chaos within his own family.

Full of fun and sensitively written, this musical comedy is appropriate for the whole family to enjoy together. With a live orchestra, choreographed battles, energetic dancing and music of many different styles, this highly entertaining story of murder, matrimony, and mighty men becomes a story of repentance and restoration.

The Biblical story can be found in II Samuel 1:1 through I Kings 2:12.
