Recenzii

Isn't this what all playwrights would wish for? To come across in their daily lives a dramatic arena. To find it both immediate and far-reaching. To put on stage lives that have not been seen there before ... [The] chronicles are set in Lagos, Johannesburg, Harare, Accra, Kampala - and south London. They include confessionals, politics, feuding, tales of men away from their homes, men cut off from fathers, men in search of companionship. Common threads - a plot about father and son, a joke about a fly in a drink, a big Barcelona-Chelsea match - weave these episodes together. But it is the stretch of the talk and material that is remarkable: anecdotal and argumentative.
Throbs with energy and heat. Full of sadness and great joy.
Rich and exhilarating. A fascinating peek into the barber shop.
Life-affirming
