About the show:
One day. Six cities. A thousand stories.
Newsroom, political platform, local hot spot, confession box, preacher pulpit and football stadium. For generations, African men have gathered in barber shops to discuss the world. This dynamic new play leaps from a barber shop in London to Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lagos and Accra. These are places where the banter can be barbed and the truth is always telling. Written by Inua Ellams.
