Breakfast with Mugabe sees 2025 Standard Bank Young Artist for Theatre, Director Calvin Ratladi dive deep into the fractured psyche of a zealous leader, and the nation he shaped. The critically acclaimed play by Fraser Grace is a tense, psychological dance between power, memory, and control. Power. Politics. Psychological warfare. A tale for our times. This production was produced by Standard Bank, the National Arts Festival, the Festival Enterprise Catalyst and The Market Theatre. #BreakfastWit

We're past the midway point of this special anniversary edition of the Festival – with an absolutely incredible programme of shows coming up over the next few days. We've huddled together to discuss the state of the arts and our world, learnt and questioned as we joined artists on walkabouts, watched sold-out shows with legendary performers – and raved about them in coffee shops the next day. Thank you for joining us on this journey and for supporting the artists and all the many people who work

As we enter our next half-century, we're gazing forward and into a future more exciting (and challenging) than ever before. Our new identity is inspired by you – the artists, audiences, and communities who have shaped the Festival for over five decades. Every pattern and colour celebrates the diversity of South African creativity and our collective artistic heritage. Just like our Festival stages, this new chapter creates space for all voices to be heard, all stories to be told, and all art form
