A compelling story of political intrigue, double dealing and the ruthless realities of taking a nation to war, set against the backdrop of the Third Punic War.
Fifty years after the ravages of Hannibal, the Roman Republic isn't doing so well. Taxes have risen, the Senate is under pressure, and Carthage, the old enemy, is stockpiling weapons.
But Consul Cato is a practical man. He knows that if the Senate hears a clamour of voices against Carthage, order could be restored.
Alan Wilkins' play Carthage Must Be Destroyed was first staged at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in May 2007. It won Best New Play at the Scottish Theatre Awards.
