David’s life is good - shepherd by day, rock star by night. He and his band of brothers frequently rock out and are adored by thousands. His life however gets complicated when he is proclaimed to be The Chosen One by the mystical Black Sheep. David has been given the honour of becoming King...he’s just not sure. This could actually get in the way of his music! Goliath is a bully by day, bully by night! He and his gang of hoods cause mayhem and chaos across town, revelling in their tyranny and ruining the lives of many. Does Goliath like the news that a Shepherd boy is to become his King? No he doesn’t. In fact he’s angry. No sheep lover is going to tell him how to live his life! Goliath has one thing on his mind and hurting David is it!!

I enjoyed this piece of musical theatre. Strong casting from Anne Vosser. Small personal theatre makes these type of productions more engaging and real. For me Keisha Amponsa Banson carried the show perfectly. Natasha J. Barnes vocals were very strong. I |
