Synopsis

During the early decades of the nineteenth century, Shaka Zulu was one of the few African tribal leaders to unite the Zulu tribes and inflict defeat upon the British Army. In their majestic play, Shaka, Jan Henson Dow and Robert Schroeder bring Shaka and those surrounding him to life as he rises from obscurity to become one of the most influential monarchs of the Zulu Kingdom. Thwarted love, constant war, witchcraft, and court intrigue fomented by his own power-hungry brothers eventually drive Shaka to the brink of madness, until he finally turns the scorched-earth policy he uses against his enemies upon those he loves most.
