The Hairdresser's Calendar

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Ger FitzGibbon 

  • Synopsis

    Whether it’s a wedding, a christening, or a debs’ ball, everyone comes to the hairdressers expecting transformation. And that is what this hairdresser gives them, as therapist, counsellor, story-teller and magician all rolled into one. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always leave her the time or the energy to deal with the crises in her own life. Over the course of an hour we encounter her life, her customers, and her colleagues, as she tries to set the world to rights by shaping the only thing she has any real control over—someone else’s hair.
