| Description |
Straight from its sell-out debut at London’s National Theatre, Barber Shop Chronicles has audiences and critics buzzing. This lively, life-affirming, and “irresistibly joyful” (DailyMail) portrait of the modern-day barbershop tackles the big topics – fatherhood, friendship, politics, and football – against an energetic backdrop of banter, boasting, and African beats. In a universal tale that spans Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lagos, Accra and London, this “flamboyant, musical, moveable feast” (The Times) captures the heart and soul of the
barbershop as a place for African men to gather and talk (and talk and talk) – with some hair trimming on the side. Barber Shop Chronicles is guaranteed great entertainment, from the heart. Take a front-row seat in an intimate theatre space within Wellington’s TSB Bank Arena and be transported to the barbershops of Africa and London. Settle in for an exhilarating night of theatre. |
