Jaco's Barbershop — a comedy play

Jaco’s Barbershop — a comedy play

Jaco—the first barber in Ashdod—is the narrator. In every sense of the word.

He cuts hair, and he tells stories.

Through the characters who come in and out for haircuts—sailors, market people, ordinary residents of Quarter A—a mosaic is revealed: the small stories of ordinary people that together paint a picture of a city being built.

Woven into this mosaic is a personal story—true love, a fall and betrayal, addiction and redemption, and a return to the truth. Jaco tells it without shouting, through the characters who come and go, until his story and the city’s story become one.
