National Theatre Live: Barber Shop Chronicles
2018, English. Directed by Bijan Sheibani.
One day. Six cities. A thousand stories.
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. Follow along as we leap from a barber shop in Peckham to Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lagos and Accra over the course of a single day.
