Waiting For Hannibal
Waiting For Hannibal 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 niece 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 going back to her husband she then kills herself by poison and dies in Massinisa's arms. Director: Yemi Ajibade and Burt Caesar. Cast: Judith Jacob, Willie Payne, David Prescott, David Haynes, Pamela Nomvette, Sylvester Williams, Bob Phillips. Performed at The Drill Hall (03/06/1986 – 21/06/1986).
