Wenceslas—Deborah Baker Monday. Based
upon the classic Christmas carol Good King
Wenceslas, this historical journey depicts the
story of how Wenceslas became the "good
King." Although dark and foreboding at the start,
depicting the evil that was around during his time,
the goodness of the King wins out and the piece
ends triumphantly as the carol is then brought to
us as we know it.
