Reviews

[Riq Hoelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some of the history is a little incorrect or out of date, but is probably dead on when it comes to Hannibal's character. Makes for a fun, thoughtful and quick read.

[Vicki Cline · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a three-act play about Hannibal at the gates of Rome after defeating the Roman legions at Cannae, and how the wife of Fabius Maximus, the man who was just appointed dictator, convinced Hannibal to go away. It was pretty silly, but the edition I got from the library was interesting in that it contained stage layouts for each act, lighting instructions and a list of props. Also, it was the basis for the 1955 movie Jupiter's Darling, starring Howard Keel, Esther Williams and Marge and Gower Champion. Yes, there's singing, dancing and swimming! It was also silly, but fun.
