The angels, who lead the play, inform Saul that due to a wrong decision he made, he is soon to leave the stage and transfer his role to a new king. They give him a sad mask and command him to become a sad king. Saul, who first loved David and was healed from his sadness with David’s music, finds it difficult to accept David’s success and Michal’s love for him. Throughout the play, Saul, David, and Michal deal with the outbursts of Saul’s bad spirit and its devastating consequences.
