Dis the Myths! And Barbershop Uncut Stories
Barbershop Uncut Stories is a bold, heartwarming, and humorous live theatre production set in the familiar cultural space of the local barbershop. The play features a real barber, Anderson Boyce and three of his ‘clients’ — Jeff Thompson, Paul Campbell, and Wayne Campbell, who are male survivors of prostate cancer. Together, they re-tell their personal journeys through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery with humour and authenticity, alongside a cast of professional actors.

This powerful production is brought to life by BAFTA-winning director Rochelle Newman of Duke Productions and overseen by Production Manager, Lorna Jones (C & Hair). The show follows a theatre performance that received great acclaim at the recent C & Hair Conference held earlier on this year.
Following the performance, audiences are invited to join an after-show panel discussion, featuring the cast and healthcare professionals, offering a valuable space to explore the themes raised and discuss prostate cancer awareness and men’s health.
