Inca costumes and visual symbols enhance the production. Pizzarro Francisco Pizarro recruits 167 men to explore Peru. Hernando de Soto and Vicente de Valverde, his right hand man and a Catholic priest accompany him. Their mission is to spread the shining light of Christianity. Old Martin Old Martin, a man in his mid-fifties, is the narrator. Young Martin is a character that plays a younger version of him. At the beginning of the journey chivalry, glory and honor obsesses him. Martin increasingly misunderstands, as Pizarro’s crisis of faith also unravels.
The King The Spanish explorers invade Peru, looking for gold. They climb a mountain to approach the home of the Incan King Atahualpa, the Sun god’s son. The Spanish explorers kill 3,000 Incas and capture King Atahualpa. Pizarro bargains with Atahualpa. If he fills an entire room with golden objects in two months time, Pizarro promises to free Atahualpa without harming him. During the king’s captivity, Pizarro and Atahualpa become increasingly close. Pizarro Pizarro, has an old painful wound, that causes a great deal of suffering.
He has a crisis of faith. He tells Martin that he had dreams of the Sun God when he was young. At the end of the prescribed time, Pizarro requests Atahualpa to promise to leave his men alone, but the king declines. The Execution The Spaniards beg Pizarro to execute Atahualpa resulting in a mutiny against Pizarro. Atahualpa consents to the execution, believing that, as the son of a god, he will come back to life the morning after his death. Pizarro agrees, and Atahualpa personally inducts him into the Incan religion.

Atahualpa will burn at the stake, but Pizarro has changed the sentence to strangling (the rebirth requires that Atahualpa’s body is whole) if Atahualpa allows the Church to baptize him. They baptize him, and the Spaniards strangle Atahualpa. Pizarro sojourns until morning with the corpse, but it does not re-awaken. So, he embraces what was once his friend and sobs while Old Martin ends the story. The play is a rather short one running only a little over an hour. High school students perform this play. It is an older play and not one well known by the young.
