It is election time. His Excellency, Poka Oka Ndisengs ruling party is losing by a very wide margin in the polls. His wife, Samantha, and his personal advisor, Twenty, have both panicked and they are urging Ndiseng to flee the country, but an adamant Ndiseng tells them he is not going anywhere and wants to be buried under the soil of his ancestors.
Election Day is a reflection of election fever in a way never seen ever, directed by two-time NAMA Outstanding Theatre Actress Eunice Tava who is one of Zimbabwes best actresses now graduating into a director. Elections have been a very sensitive subject in most countries and the various stories about elections in Zimbabwe have been full of drama.
Written by award-winning literature writer Christopher Mlalazi, featuring Privillage Mutendera, Teddy T Mangawa, Tafadzwa Bob and Brezhnev Guveya, Election Day had its world premiere at HIFA 2010 as part of the HIFA Direct theatre mentorship project by HIFA and British Council.
It comes to Theatre In The Park with support from The British Council, British Embassy, Hivos and Norad.
