Pass the Comb
Date: Wednesday 29 Aug, 7pm – 9pm
Location: Theatre Royal Stratford East
Pass the Comb is a 15 minute short film which tells the story of Jerome, a youngster in conflict and Chantelle, his older sister who uses her calming influence, reasoning skills and the cultural tradition of braiding hair on her younger brother.

But how did Chantelle get so wise? And is she really the picture of innocence she portrays?
