Black Lover is a new play from Auckland-based Zimbabwean playwright Stanley Makuwe, which looks at the little-known story of Sir Garfield Todd, a New Zealand expat who became prime minister of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) from 1953 - 1958. The play takes it's name - 'black lover' - from a nickname given to Todd by the white minority rulers because of his work advocating for racial equality. The Auckland Theatre Company will hold the world premiere of the show at Q Theatre as part of the Auckland Arts Festival 2020.
Makuwe says he would like all New Zealanders to know the story of Todd, and explains why in this interview.
