Breakfast With Mugabe - London

Breakfast with Mugabe

'The RSC is reminding itself and us that it has a distinguished record of presenting new plays'
Financial Times
Breakfast With Mugabe by Fraser Grace


Funny, unsettling and provocative, Fraser Grace's play tells a startling story. It's election time, 2002, in Zimbabwe, and President Mugabe is battling with mental demons. He seeks help from a white psychiatrist. Set in State House, Harare, the piece explores the conflict between African and European values, and between despotism and liberalism.

The psychiatrist, whilst being alternatively threatened and charmed by Mrs Grace Mugabe, attempts the dangerous job of analysing the President...


'The play asks us in the civilised west to face up to our past and confront our own demons.'
Daily Telegraph


'The work's beauty lies in exposing the human frailty at the heart of belligerent misrule and murder.'
The Zimbabwean
