Male Patterns

Male Patterns is set in a hair loss clinic, somewhere in the Middle East. Three Brits – Paul, Jack and Karam – believe that if they finally address their receding hairlines, they might find the confidence to tackle some of life’s other obstacles. But the clinic’s expat owner, Tracy, is worried about war, while her migrant assistant, Noor, is determined to get out of the Gulf. A play about changing our bodies and a changing world order.
