Inua Ellams’ Search Party

About Inua Ellams’ Search Party

Inua Ellams - playwright, performer, poet, MBE, Nigerian-British wunderkind and polymathic award-winner once described as the love child of Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and John Keats - wants you to throw words at him. No, really.

Welcome to Search Party, a magical, anarchic evening of reactive poetry created from Inua's two decade-long archive, around whatever the audience suggest. Fresh from uproarious successes at the Barbican, Shakespeare?s Globe and and New York Theatre Workshop, Search Party is chaotic, exciting, deeply personal, deeply hilarious and always completely unique. Come bursting with words and ready to vibe.

In association with The Skinny.
