Description
Barber Shop Chronicles is a heart-warming and insightful play that explores the world through the conversations of African men in barber shops. The story leaps from one location to another, tracing the connections between people across the continent over the course of a single day.
Partly inspired by verbatim recordings, the play offers a unique glimpse into the lives of its characters, who gather in barber shops to discuss the world and share their experiences. With its blend of humor and insight, Barber Shop Chronicles is a compelling exploration of community and connection.
First produced by the National Theatre, Fuel and Leeds Playhouse in 2017, the play is now published as a Methuen Drama Student Edition with commentary and notes by Oladipo Agboluaje. This edition provides a valuable resource for students and scholars of drama and performance studies.
