"This zany, sexy version of the story of King David, told as a modern allegory of what it is
like for a Jew to survive in a hostile world, is "original, sad, wildly funny, and filled with roaring . . .
Heller's King David, a splendid creation, is not so much a man for all seasons as man in all his seasons"
(The New York Times Book Review)..
The director Gili Shanit adopted the book to a monodrama, with Avinoam Mor Haim as King David.
"... Mor Chaim succeeds to create a warm interesting persona and a "king David" unlike
we have known until now.His tender presentation creates a sympathetic and humane performance,
one that is intelligent and thought provoking. A must see."

"In her writing, Gili Shanit successfully blends the historical-biblical story with a wink towards
the current regime, while using phrases about European cities. By doing so she creates a play which is beyond time."
