The Biblcal story of the death of King David is a powerful drama of
courtly intrigue (I Kings, ch.1,2). "The Temple" uses the
characters and circumstances of the story as the basis for a
romantic comedy. As King David lies dying, Abishag, a fair maiden,
is brought into the palace to lie with him because "his body gave
off no heat." David's two sons, Solomon and Adonijah are engaged in
a bitter struggle to succeed to the throne of Israel. Abishac
becomes involved and wins the love of Solomon and an honored place
in the palace. This unusual play will delight the sophisticated
reader.
An additional feature is "The Life of King David in
Context."
