Hepburn presents this new edition of Joseph Bell's original play Absalom.
 
"Absalom tells the story of a prince who attempts to usurp the crown from his own father. 
 
King David presides over a golden age in Israel. He is a humble and devout ruler, but his son Absalom has markedly different qualities. When the prince defies his father he is forced to flee into exile. On his return, however, it becomes clear he harbours dangerous ambitions and a conspiracy that soon rises to civil war.
Inspired by a remarkable incident in Hebrew literature, Absalom is written in the spirit of Elizabethan tragedy, and faithfully preserves the style and form of that genre."
