No final da década de 1970, em plena guerra pela libertação do Zimbábue, a vida tranquila de um casal de classe média em Beatrice Cottages é virada de cabeça para baixo. O velho Majasi, recém‑viúvo, e seu filho Andrew - um prodígio da mbira - fogem da violência que devastou a Reserva Africana de Mhondoro e buscam abrigo na casa de Rwizi, o primogênito de Majasi, e de sua esposa Sally.Sally, apaixonada pela dança de salão competitiva e determinada a apresentar um lar 'perfeitamente europeu' aos colegas do clube, vê a chegada dos parentes de Rwizi como uma ameaça à imagem que tenta construir. Enquanto ela tenta moldar o filho John como um 'cavalheiro inglês', o menino se encanta pelo avô e pela música tradicional mbira - um gesto simples que acende tensões profundas dentro da casa.Entre a lealdade à família que o criou e as exigências da esposa, Rwizi se vê dividido. Nada do que seus parentes fazem parece ser suficiente, e cada gesto revela o choque entre mundos: o europeu e o africano, o urbano e o rural, o moderno e o ancestral.Nativos de Alta Classe é uma peça poderosa sobre identidade, pertencimento e as fraturas invisíveis que a guerra deixa dentro das famílias - uma história onde música, tradição e ambição colidem sob o mesmo teto.
