After 40 years of leadership, Jatinder Verma is stepping down as artistic director of Tara Arts in January. After its conception in 1977, he's turned his company from a community project to a prominent presence on the British theatre scene.

We had the pleasure to have a chat with Verma, who summed up his groundbreaking journey and took a look at the state of the industry.
