Title Sponsor Season Sponsor season sponsor title sponsor WELCOME Every December I visit the other London, in England. While preparing for the trip last year I took notice of a new produc- tion that was the talk of town and selling out: Barber Shop Chronicles. It was being performed at one of my favourite theatres in the world — the National Theatre of England. I snapped Supporting up a ticket and crossed my fingers. The moment I walked into the the- atre, my heart lifted and I burst into a the arts, big smile. It was clear that something special was unfolding. I was instantly transported, engaged, and swept up in the thrill of the event. When I returned to Canada I started making inquiries — locally. tracking down the playwright and the theatre producers. It is a dream come true for me to bring a great new play from this beloved theatre to our stage. We are committed to being world curious here at the Grand Theatre and this production is the first of many international productions to come. This fine company of artists joins us in the middle of their tour, which began in October in Arizona and has been touring on the us West Coast. We are the only Canadian stop on their journey, and following their time here, they head directly to the Kennedy Center in Washington, dc. We are truly in fine company. Barber Shop Chronicles dazzles on every level — but what I will always remember is how powerful a story can be when it is presented directly and honestly, with a whole pile of theatrical fun. It is a thrill to welcome the company of Barber Shop Chronicles to Canada. dennis garnhum artistic director Each year, through various donations and sponsorships, we are committed to helping our local communities.

Q&A WITH INUA ELLAMS What inspired you to write this play? Own the Lifestyle. Years ago I learnt of a charity that was trying to train barbers in the very basics of counselling, and I never realised how intimate the conversations could get between barbers and clients. Initially I wanted to be voyeuristic and create poems. Just to record the conversations and try and write about the interactions between these men. No one would fund me to do this, but the idea stayed with me. The idea of the poems turned to conversations, to scenes, to settings, to drama, to politics, to anthropology, to history, to the contemporary — to everything really. I wanted to capture the fragility of black men in their own setting. How did you approach the piece? I went to London, South Africa, Uganda, Nigeria, and Ghana. I met individuals, transcribed and recorded, mixed things together, created whole new characters, scrapped some and cre- ated this play that is 40% verbatim 60% invented. It was a lot of work drawing strands together. I’ve written quite a few drafts — I’m approaching the tenth now — and each time I am refi ning, cleaning up, reducing, realising aspects of the play. I’ve tried to create that sense of camarade- rie and a safe space for the men in the play to be themselves. What is the significance of the different places in the play? Simply because they’re Anglophone Africa rather than Francophone Africa, I wanted to create a diasporas, conversation between black African men in the uk and black African men on the continent. And those were the places I had the most friends and ins into barber shops. What do you want people to take away from the piece? Just how vast, complex, and nuanced the continent is. The very many types of black men that exist. The stereotypes created for us, for the actors on television, all of them lack in grace and specifi city and are tired and dated. It is just so multilayered, a plethora of identities that we don’t have represented in the uk and I wanted to share that. To show the kaleidoscopic nature of masculinity on the continent and here. What advice would you give aspiring writers? To be themselves. To chase their most ridiculous thoughts, inspirations, and starting points down the rabbit hole and see what you fi nd and what bears fruit. That’s it. So much of every- thing that I do comes from just that. Most of the time, I feel that I’m an inspiring writer. When I sit down to write a poem or a play I scratch my head and think, ‘How do I do this again? What is this all about?’ I think writing always has to feel new and slightly terrifying. Just be your- self, see how your identity or background informs your interest and start from that. That’s something that can never be taken away from you: your own uniqueness, way of questioning, idiosyncrasies, and infi nitely reductive misconceptions of the world. Those are new lenses to shine a story through and see what comes out the other end. Fear predominates in conversations about Gambia in the 1980s where in Wolof, they mental health issues.

Egypt, 1907. Two archaeologists, Bernard Grenfell and Arthur Hunt, are searching for ancient fragments of poetry and plays, next to an old rubbish heap.

It argues that the three productions―from 1972, 1988 and 2012―each use cross-cultural casting in ways that illuminate the phases of inclusion for British performers of colour. Peter Coe’s 1972 The Black Macbeth was staged at a time when an implicit colour bar in Shakespeare was in place, but black performers were included in the production in ways that reinforced dominant racial stereotypes.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
