On a sweltering Halloween night in Harare two legends of the Edinburgh Nights series will meet for the very first time. Before Ropa Moyo, before the catastrophe, there was Melsie Mhondoro and Ian Callander. Together they will face an ancient evil in a land with roots deep as magic itself. Together their actions will resound down the decades. And it all starts right here, right now, tonight.
