Barber Shop Chronicles, Paperback / softback Book

Barber Shop Chronicles Paperback / softback

Edited by Oladipo Agboluaje

Part of the Student Editions series

Paperback / softback

Description

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.

These are places where the banter can be barbed and the truth is always telling. Barber Shop Chronicles, which was partly inspired by verbatim recordings, is a heart-warming, hilarious and insightful play that leaps from a barber shop in Peckham to Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lagos and Accra over the course of a single day. It was first produced by the National Theatre, Fuel and Leeds Playhouse in 2017 and is here publishedas a Methuen Drama Student Edition with commentary and notes by Oladipo Agboluaje.
