Performances and plays
The 14th Tale

Untitled
A one-man show staged at the Soho Theatre in 2010,[9] telling the story of twins born on Nigeria's independence day.[10]
Barber Shop Chronicles
Barber Shop Chronicles is a play set in black barber shops in six cities on one day, against the backdrop of a football match between Chelsea and Barcelona. The play explores the African diaspora in the UK,[11] masculinity, homosexuality and religion. The play was produced by the National Theatre, Fuel Theatre and Leeds Playhouse and was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Award in 2017.[12] Following a period of touring, the play was also performed at the Roundhouse in 2019,[13] and a recording of the National Theatre production was streamed in May 2020 as part of the National Theatre at Home season.[14] For the production, Ellams recorded 60 hours of "male banter"[15] in barbershops all over Africa and in London at his barber Peter's shop Emmanuel's in Clapham Junction.[15] This project originally did not secure funding.[16]
The Half God of Rainfall
In April 2019, his new play, The Half God of Rainfall, was presented at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre,[17] in advance of its run at London's Kiln Theatre, as well as its publication as a book.[18]
Three Sisters
In December 2019–February 2020, a reworking by Ellams of Chekhov's play Three Sisters was performed at the Royal National Theatre, London.[19] The play restaged the story in the 1960s in the midst of the Biafran war in Nigeria.[20]

In 2020, Ellams performed a live stage programme with anecdotes of his childhood and his experiences as a refugee. An excerpt was shown at the Hay Festival on 24 May 2020.[8]
