Script Summary:

This two-act play follows Daniel’s story in Babylon. Act 1 shows how God worked through Daniel to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, leading the proud king to be humbled. Then King Belshazzar sees a mysterious handwriting on the wall, and Daniel interprets its meaning. Act 2 focuses on King Darius, who is tricked into passing a law that sends Daniel into a den of lions. God rescues Daniel, and Darius proclaims the power of the living God.
