Seymour Performers Workshop is proud to be supporting the development of an original musical production iMPERFECT Messiah.
Based on the story of David and Goliath, this epic tale is reimagined with a contemporary/pop musical theatre score.
We’re seeking expressions of interest from performers interested in participating in an experimental workshop process to further develop this piece.
If you’re an actor and vocalist who would like to be involved in the creative process of developing a musical from the ground up we’re keen to hear from you!
Please send us an email with your name and contact details and we will be in touch.
The story
Teenager and humble shepherd David becomes the accidental hero after slaying the giant Goliath with a slingshot. This catapults him to a rapid climb to success and position, eventually marrying the king’s daughter, thus making him prince and son-in-law to King Sh’wul. The King, bitterly jealous of David’s achievements attempts to murder David with his spear. David escapes to the wilderness, his hopes for predestined glory as leader dashed. In exile, David masters the ways of a desperate mercenary, the cunning of a Mafioso-like boss, and accumulates wealth and power as a self-made man. He is ready to be king.
