Synopsis:
Deluxe Hair Cutting Saloon borrows from life as experienced in any small town establishment that can be found in our metropolitan cities. The play's axis is a barber shop named Deluxe Hair Cutting Saloon that shares space with Jai Ambe Motors, a motor mechanic workstation, and Das Pathology Lab. The play's characters have problems of their own and yet continue to live their lives with some measure of contentment. The piece dwells on the universal idea that as humans we are quick to make judgments and identify the several faults of other people without even looking at our own.
