Inua Ellams: Plays One

A collection of plays by British-Nigerian playwright and poet Inua
Ellams. Includes The 14th Tale, Untitled, Black T-Shirt Collection and
Knight Watch.

‘A sharp reminder of the power of language and rhythm’
The Scotsman on The 14th Tale

‘Ellams’s evocative writing conjures a Nigeria where myth and
magic sit casually alongside everyday life.’
Guardian on Untitled

‘Ellams’ verse brims with magical realism… His delivery is charming
and natural, and he is able to spin intricate, rhythmic webs of
words with apparent ease. 45 minutes of allowing Inua Ellams to
wrap his words around you is far from a painful experience. What
is clear is that Ellams’ writing and performance, not to mention his
Fringe First award, show that he has definite potential.’
What’s On Stage on Knight Watch

‘Full of arresting images that create a hybrid of lyrical ecstasy and
cinematic effects… a fluent, intense 70-minute confection and a
tinglingly resonant celebration of the art of solo performance.’
Evening Standard on Black T-Shirt Collection
