Mugabe, My dad and Me at The Wardrobe Theatre Bristol
A cultural festival celebrating African arts, music and film events, will be bringing a show to Bristol which has just won Best New Play at the UK Theatre Awards.
Mugabe, My Dad & Me, is written and performed by Tonderai Munyevu, with musician Millicent Chapanda providing on-stage support. It tells the story of the rise and fall of controversial politician Robert Mugabe and how he impacted on Munyevu’s family and personal life. The performance will be at The Wardrobe Theatre on Wednesday 16 November 2022.
The play is coming to Bristol this month as part of the city’s annual Afrika Eye Festival. The cultural event, which is in its sixteenth year, sees an annual programme of cinema, arts, food, music and dance coming to the city’s venues. This year’s event runs from 07 – 17 November 2022.
