Lagos. Johannesburg. Accra. Kampala. Harare. London.
Six radically different cities, all united by a familiar place where you can get more than just a good trim.
Barber Shop Chronicles conjures the sacred space where discussion ranges from politics to family to soccer to Tupac. Nigerian-British playwright Inua Ellams weaves a rich tapestry of unfiltered stories about father-son relationships and black masculinity, set to an Afrobeat score.
