About
Tama is a British-Australian writer, director, and actor, whose work has been produced in England, Australian, Europe, and America. He has a passion for combining music and the spoken word, which has led him to develop a new form of theatre which mixes a full play with a complete musical concert.
Tama has worked with theatre companies, orchestras, and opera companies all over the world (including the OSO Theatre, The King's Head Theatre, The Sydney Opera House, the Royal Albert Hall, Oper Graz, and the Salesjan's Theatre in Malta) and is currently Artistic Director of the Brisbane Shakespeare Festival in Australia.
As an actor, Tama has performed in theatre and TV in England and Australia – including roles such as Bunthorne in Gilbert & Sullivan's Patience, Felix in The Odd Couple, Leo in Coward's Design for Living, and Michal in Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman, and Hamlet, Richard III, Henry V, Oberon, Don Pedro, Banquo, Antonio, and Ariel, in the Shakespearean canon. He has appeared in TV shows from Eastenders and Heartbeat, to the Story of Paul Hogan, and the forthcoming Ellis for Channel 5.
Tama has written and produced 12 of his own plays, including dramas about Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Britten, Prokofiev, Lord Byron, Nancy Wake, Andrsej Panufnik, Prokofiev, and Australian poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson, along with his own adaptations of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Peer Gynt. His I Shall Hear in Heaven (about Beethoven) and Bright Stars Shone for Us (about Tchaikovsky) were nominated and shortlisted, respectively, for RPS awards in London.
Tama has also won several acting and directing awards in Australia.
