Inua Ellams' The 14th Tale

'Londons hottest new spoken word talent.' The Times

The 14th Tale, presented by Fuel, tells the hilarious exploits of a natural born mischief growing from the clay streets of Nigeria to the rooftops of Dublin, and finally to London.

Combining comic dialogue with deft and beautiful poetry, Ellams vividly brings to life the characters that punctuate his upbringing, offering an intimate account of the trials of adolescence and what it means to be a young, black male in London today.

'Creates whole worlds through the voice of a single performer.' The Scotsman

'Im from a long line of trouble makers, of ash skinned Africans, born with clenched fists and a natural thirst for battle, only quenched by breast milk.'

The 14th Tale will be at the National Theatre for 10 performances between 9 February - 13 March. All tickets are priced at £10.
