BWW Review: BARBER SHOP CHRONICLES, National Theatre
As eavesdropping opportunities go, the barber shop has everything a playwright could desire a constant stream of close encounters and a broad range of people willing to sit still and talk. That talk feeds directly into Inua Ellams' new play for the National, which follows a day in the life of male grooming parlours across six world cities London, Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lagos and Accra.
