Tonderai Munyevu
'Something strange happens when the past comes crashing into you, right in the present.'
In the spring of 1980, the British colony of Rhodesia became the independent nation of Zimbabwe. Tonderai Munyevu, a born-free, was part of the hopeful next generation from a new country with a new leader, Robert Gabriel Mugabe. While exploring Tonderai’s personal story and his relationship with his father, Mugabe, My Dad and Me charts the rise and fall of one of the most controversial politicians of the 20th century. Interweaving monologue and original music on the mbira with commentary inspired by some of Mugabe’s more notorious speeches, this captivating one-man show is a blistering dance of memory exploring connection, familial love and what it means to return ‘home’.
The play was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Award 2019.
The play was directed for Audible Originals by John R. Wilkinson, recipient of the Genesis Future Directors Award 2018.
The stage production of Mugabe, My Dad & Me is a York Theatre Royal and English Touring Theatre co-production in association with Alison Holder.

Solo shows are difficult to execute successfully. They challenge audience attentiveness especially when spectacle is absent in presentation. Tonderai Munyevu’s Mugabe, My Dad & Me prevails in making historical content, queerness, whiteness, revolution, parental indiscretions, ambition, and diasporic peculiarities command attention while housing said elements in an entertaining performance.
Munyevu’s subject matter; often judged as traumatic, which it is, is made digestible by inflecting cynicism, fatalism, sex, and moral ambiguity reminiscent of a witty fast paced noir. His self-penned one-person extravaganza is succinct, balanced and voiced with a coolness that soothes extremities of the 1980’s following Rhodesia’s transition into Zimbabwe.
Ultimately, it is the content, the quality of the writing, that cements Mugabe, My Dad & Me as a dramatic unit worthy of a listen and a place in a collector’s library that embraces reality, history and social transition infused with a twist of laughter.
