By Inua Ellams. A Fuel, National Theatre and Leeds Playhouse co-production.
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.
This event takes place at Royal Exchange Theatre
Royal Exchange Theatre, St Ann’s Square, Manchester M2 7DH
