Title: Records relating to 'Waiting For Hannibal'
Description:

This series of records contains all files related to the production and promotion of 'Waiting For Hannibal' by Yemi Ajibade. Directed by Yemi Ajibade the play is set in 204BC when the Romans are fending off Hannibal and are about to invade Africa. Sophinisba, daughter of Hasdrubal and neice of Hannibal, subjugates her personal happiness by marrying the elderly King of Namibia rather that her lover, the young rebel Massinisa. She loyally supports her father and husband's strategies until the Roman victory at the Battle of Cirta reunites her briefly with Massinisa. Rather than go back to her husband she kills herself by poison and dies in Massinisa's arms.
