Overview
A comedy set in a Harlem braiding salon, presented as the UK premiere of a Tony Award-winning play, returning to the Lyric Hammersmith in London.
Jaja's African Hair Braiding is a comedy set in a busy braiding salon in Harlem, where a group of West African immigrant braiders spend a hot summer day serving neighbourhood women. Demanding customers, secrets, lies, laughter and betrayal build up in the sweltering shop, while each braider holds personal dreams that set them against the city they call home.
This is the UK premiere of the Tony Award-winning play, written by Jocelyn Bioh and directed by Monique Touko, who reunites the team behind School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play. After an earlier run, the production returns to the Lyric Hammersmith, a London venue that hosts a range of shows.
Several performances are offered with audio description, British Sign Language interpretation, open captions, or as a chilled performance, so the production can be seen in different access formats.
