No passports : Positioned between East and West, Tara champions creative diversity through the production, promotion and development of world class, cross-cultural theatre.

The creative health of modern diverse humanity demands no passports. Founded in 1977, the company tours vibrant adaptations of European and Asian classics, develops new writing and brings the great stories of the world to children in junior schools.
Tara's distinctive, 'Binglish' style of theatre, has resulted in co-productions with the National Theatre of Tartuffe (1990), The Little Clay Cart (1991) and Cyrano (1995). It has also staged an epic trilogy of plays on modern migration - Journey to the West (2002).
Based in South London, TARA has toured the Netherlands, Ireland, France, Belgium, Spain, Turkey, Egypt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Australia, as well as England, Scotland and Wales.
