Summary
They set a trap, tricking King Darius into ruling that anyone caught praying more than once a month must be thrown to the lions. Alas, Daniel, being devout, falls into the trap and King Darius, with much grief, is forced to adhere to the rule. However, Daniel, rewarded for his goodness and strength, is saved at the last by an angel.
This charming one-act musical, written for Key Stage 2 students or children of a similar age to perform, lasts approximately forty-five to fifty minutes. It features a cast of delightful characters including a group of amusing Noel Coward-esque lions and has simple and inventive settings.
The show can be accompanied live with piano or by recorded backing tracks
