Abstract Nigerian theatre directing scholars have ventured into the interpretation of not just plays written by other playwrights but plays which they authored. Ola Rotimi, Wole Soyinka, Femi Osofisan, Ahmed Yerima, Sunday Ododo, Ben Binebai etc readily come to mind in this regard. This paper evaluates the contributions of Henry Leopold Bell-Gam as a Director-Playwright in the development of theatre practice in Nigeria. The paper notes that Henry Leopold Bell-Gam contributions to the growth of theatre is borrowed from the Aquatic life of the Ijaw culture and as such recommends that budding theatre scholars promote their traditional untapped culture through documentation and graphic presentation on stage and screen.
