Inua Ellams’s acclaimed play Barber Shop Chronicles will return to London for a summer run at the Roundhouse.
Following a tour around the US and an upcoming UK tour, the show will run from July 18 to August 24, two years after opening at the National Theatre.
Jumping between Peckham, Johannesburg, Harare, Kampala, Lago and Accra over the course of a single day, the play looks at six barbershops, where men for generations have gathered to discuss the world.
Performed in-the-round at the Camden venue, Bijan Sheibani returns to direct, with design from Rae Smith, lighting from Jack Knowles, movement from Aline David and sound by Gareth Fry.
The Standard’s Fiona Mountford gave the original production four stars, urging readers to “make an appointment”.
The cast for this run has not yet been announced.
Tickets for the production will go on sale on February 14, roundhouse.org.uk
