Jaja’s African Hair Braiding Tickets - London
‘Are we making some money today, or what?’
Welcome to Jaja’s African Hair Braiding! This is the bustling Harlem salon where women from the neighbourhood come to have all their hairstyle dreams come true in the hands of a cheerful group of immigrant West African braiders.
Over the course of one hot summer's day, these women experience everything in the pressure cooker environment of the sweltering shop: from secrets, lies, and demanding customers to laughter and betrayal. But these women all have big dreams of their own as well, dreams that increasingly pit them up against the city they call home.
The UK premiere of this Tony Award-winning comedy at the Lyric Hammersmith in London reunites the team behind smash-hit School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play in director Monique Touko and writer Jocelyn Bioh.
