Something strange happens when the past comes crushing into you, right in the present.
April, 1980. The British colony of Rhodesia becomes the independent nation of Zimbabwe. A born-free, Tonderai Munyevu is part of the hopeful next generation from a country with a new leader, Robert Mugabe.
Mugabe, My Dad and Me charts the rise and fall of one of the most controversial politicians of the 20th century through the lens of Tonderai’s family story and his relationship with his father. Interspersing storytelling with Mugabe’s unapologetic speeches, this high-voltage one man show is a blistering exploration of identity and what it means to return ‘home’.
Tonderai Munyevu is a writer and director for theatre, screen and radio. He was born in Zimbabwe and raised in London. As well as comedy and drama he has also written prose (fiction and non-fiction) including the short stories Bullets (Black and Gay In The UK Anthology, Team Angelica Publishers) and A Dispatch From Zimbabwe: The Visiting Hours for The Johannesburg Book Of Reviews. His play Mugabe, My Dad and Me was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Award 2019.
