This was an interesting set of snippets set in different barber shops between Africa and England, interspersed with short music and dance interludes when the scene changed.
Some of the stories seemed a little slow in the first part, but it all seemed to intersect towards the end. The stories were related through soccer and separation. The London barber provided the drama between the generations, and the resolution. There was lots of comic relief too, as people joked about their hair.
The show was done in Moore, and there was on-stage seating to the left and right which is always fun.
On Saturday, the related talk about community was very interesting. Moderated by a slow-talking Khalil Abdullah, guests were Brian Cook, Board Chair of JAG Productions, Charles Mhlauri, Director of Coaching from Lightning Soccer, Sean Taylor, barber at RVC, and Wole Ojurongbe, director of Dartmouth MALS. It was interesting how their discussion was linked to the barber theme in how they had been concerned about how their hair would get cut once in the Upper Valley. Fortunately Sean is there for that purpose.
