Funny, unsettling and provocative, Fraser Grace's play Breakfast With Mugabe 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..

Breakfast With Mugabe is presented by The Royal Shakespeare Comapany and comes into LOndon's West End following a critically acclaimed one week season at The Soho Theatre in London in April 2006.
