Based in London, Tama is a writer, director, and actor - and the author of 13 successful plays (along with several play adaptations).
He is also the originator of a brand new genre of theatre, the Music-Play, which fuses drama and music into a fresh theatrical experience. In these Music-Plays, the biography of great historical figures is mixed and mingled with the music of their era to create a heady admixture of music and drama.
Artistic Director of the Brisbane Shakespeare Festival, Tama works in theatre, opera, and film across the globe.
Graduating from Oxford University with a Bachelor of Arts in 2000, Tama made his directing debut in London, with such classic plays as Antigone and A Midsummer Night's Dream, and, after directing a highly-successful production of Amadeus in Australia, began the Brisbane Shakespeare Festival, which is now in its 19th year.
Since then, Tama has been pursuing theatre, opera and film around the world.
