Several stars from the West End season of The Kite Runner are confirmed to headline the 2020 UK tour, stopping at Richmond Theatre from 10 - 14 March 2020.

The Kite Runner, an unforgettable theatrical tour-de-force, is to tour the UK in 2020 following two acclaimed West End seasons, when it played to over 100,000 people and received standing ovations at every single performance. It will also premiere in Dubai at the 2,000-seat Dubai Opera.

After 40 years of leadership, Jatinder Verma is stepping down as artistic director of Tara Arts in January.

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.
