Da Kink in My Hair

T0995598161
Set in a Caribbean hair salon in Toronto, this amazing musical play gives voice to eight black women who tell their unforgettable stories in a kaleidoscope of drumming, singing and dancing. Trey Anthony, a Caribbean woman from Toronto, has written an extraordinary dramatic and musical testament to the challenges and triumphs in the lives of contemporary black women, many of whom are immigrants to North America from the Caribbean themselves. Mixing laughter and tears, revelation and inspiration, DA KINK is sexy and smart and sure to have you on your feet cheering! "If you really want to know what's going on with a woman, especially a black woman, you have to look at her hair. 'da KINK is 'da bomb!" Toronto Sun "Universal themes from sharply drawn characters the world passes on the street but rarely stops to listen to" NBC-TV, New York "Undeniable power... beautifully honest and searingly dramatic... written with passion and delivered with intensity... real grandeur and power" Toronto Star/Variety.com "Very, very funny! Well worth a visit. I recommend it!" National Post.
