NOVA 2026 Showcase
Date
Fri 8 May 2026
Step into an evening of discovery with NOVA, Tara Theatre’s flagship playwriting programme.
Championing bold new voices from the South Asian diaspora this electrifying showcase brings together three original pieces by emerging writers each uncovering powerful, complex and brilliant untold stories that reimagine British Theatre today.
As Tara Theatre approaches its 50th anniversary, our NOVA playwrights have been invited to look at the past. Expect a journey through hidden legacies that have long been overlooked — through radical revolutions that reshaped socio-political landscapes to intimate stories of queer protest and belonging, these stories illuminate the courage, resistance, and imagination woven into the fabric of British South Asian history.
The showcase will features the following pieces:
- The Woman Who Defended An Elephant by afshan d'souza-lodhi
- How to be British Asian by Dilan Tulsiani
- NAZ: SINFUL PERVERTS, SEXUAL DEVIANTS, AND PRODUCTS OF THE GODLESS DEBAUCHED WEST by Mohammed Barber
