A little known fact about my play, Barbershop Chronicles, is that I also travelled to Kenya to research. The play is set in five African cities: Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lagos, Accra, and in London, but it was meant to be six African cities including - Nairobi.
I could not make the scene in Nairobi serve the larger narrative, so we had cut it from the play – one day I’ll do something with that scene – but it gives me then the great pleasure to announce that the play will be read in Nairobi, at the Goethe-Institut Library this Friday, tomorrow. If you are there or have friends in the there, please share. It is happening for one night only!
