INTRODUCTION Has there ever been a better time to revisit Moliere’s The Miser? It’s King Louis XIV France. Louis emboldened Seventeenth century Paris, a Paris at the zenith of fashion, a city of architectural splendour, titillating gossip, and political intrigue. 2012. Our world spins on an axis of the financial, orbits the chaos of consumerism. We have crashed and burned, seemingly imprisoned by the free market. While the world’s may seem different human nature has changed little. But today’s India…well, its trajectory is inexorably upward. Moliere’s Harpagon become’s Tara Arts Harjinder, and while the names change, the accents and a few references it is astonishing how crackling, how coruscatingly contemporary the narrative is, particularly given the moraes of modern, ebullient India. The Miser is my second collaboration with Jatinder Verma; the second of many. I was initially marked by Moliere 25 years ago, watching Liz Lochead’s stunning Scots translation of Tartuffe. Jatinder brought me The Miser, a play I had heard much about but had never seen produced. The humour, the politics, the challenge to theatrical convention; there’s so much to love about Moliere. Giving words to Jatinder is a humbling and liberating experience. He assembles an excellent cast, superb musicians and somehow finds a way through the wrods. He lives, breathes and probably bleeds theatre. I have come to learn that given a script he lives, breathes and bleeds those words into theatre; and it’s theatre that I love. Hardeep Singh Kohli HARDEEP SINGH KOHLI WRITER / ADAPTATION Hardeep Singh Kohli, as well as being a seasoned reporter, comic, cook and presenter, has had an acclaimed career as a journalist and writer. His column in Scotland on Sunday saw him nominated twice for Scottish Columnist of the Year as well as articles for the Independent on Sunday, The Guardian and The Times. For BBC Radio 4 current series on Asians returning to India and BBC Radio 2 Hardeep at the Stand. For Channel 4 he wrote and presented the BAFTA award winning In search of the Tartan Turban. Hardeep has previously performed at Tara Theatre, with sold- out audiences of his Edinburgh show Chat Masala, The Nearly Naked Chef and Indian Takeaway.

His style blended comedy with Commedia dell’arte and controversially touched upon social issues of his time. His masterpieces include: Le Misanthrope (The Misanthrope), Tartuffe ou L’Imposteur (Tartuffe or the Imposter), and L’Avare (The Miser). PATRICIA DREYFUS TRANSLATOR I first became interested in the subtleties of translation versus interpretation whilst writing my dissertation on the French and Italian versions of Melville’s Moby Dick at Sussex University. When I was asked by Tara to work on The Miser, I rose to the challenge of staying faithful to the spirit of Moliere. JATINDER VERMA WRITER / DIRECTOR Jatinder Verma is co-founder and Artistic Director of Tara Arts. Most recently Jatinder directed the Just So Opera for the Tête à Tête Festival. In 2011 he directed Bollywood Cinderella, Tara Arts’ Christmas pantomime, Alex Wheatle’s Uprising which toured the UK and The Mysteries with ALRA to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible touring junior schools. In 2010 he directed Gandhi in London at The Temple Church and Miranda by Farroukh Dhondy for the Edinburgh Festival. In 2009 he directed Hanif Kureishi’s The Black Album for the National Theatre and UK Tour. He first worked at the National in 1989, with an acclaimed version of Moliere’s Tartuffe. CLAUDIA MAYER DESIGN Claudia Mayer trained with Percy Harris at Motley and worked freelance in Opera, Ballet and Theatre. Work for Tara Arts includes: Miranda, The Black Album (costume), The Tempest, The Marriage of Figaro, An Enemy of the People, The Merchant of Venice, Journey to the West (a trilogy), 2001 a Ramayan Odyssey, two large-scale events in Trafalgar Square.

  • Khiyo Are a London-Based Six-Piece Band Playing Radical, Modern Interpretations of Bengali Heritage Music
    ENGLISH P. 2 DEUTSCH S. 10 Khiyo are a London-based six-piece band playing radical, modern interpretations of Bengali heritage music. The band was formed in 2007 as a collaboration between British-Bangladeshi vocalist Sohini Alam and composer / multi-instrumentalist Oliver Weeks to explore new ways of presenting traditional Bengali music whilst preserving its essence. The songs on this album represent an eclectic mix of Bengali classics from both Bangladesh and India, drawing on folk, film, protest songs and other traditional genres such as Rabindra Sangeet (the songs of Rabindranath Tagore) and Nazrul Sangeet (the songs of Bangladesh’s national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam). Alam’s powerful and expressive vocals are matched with dynamic and original arrangements that draw on South Asian and Western folk and classical traditions, rock and jazz. The band is named after a letter of the Bengali alphabet, the ‘Khiyo’ ( ). It is a unique letter that, whilst being a combination of two letters, has an identity of its own. Similarly, though the band’s members draw on many different musical backgrounds, the amalgamation of the whole has a singularly identifiable sound. Sohini Alam is a third-generation vocalist from a well-known Bangladeshi singing dynasty. Sohini trained in music with her mother, Hiron Alam and her aunts, Jannat Ara and Ferdous Ara. Her repertoire includes folk, patriotic, modern and traditional Bengali songs with a specialisation in Nazrul Sangeet. She has branched out into multi-lingual music in bands (Khiyo & Kishon Khan’s Afro-Cuban-Bengali jazz band, Lokkhi Terra), for dance (she has been acclaimed for her vocals on Akram Khan’s Olivier Award-winning dance piece DESH), and for the theatre (she is Musical Artist in Residence at pioneering London Asian theatre Tara Arts).

  • Channel 4 Review of 2005
    Channel 4 Review of 2005 1. Major themes in 2005 Channel 4 has had a remarkable year in 2005. It is the only network channel to have grown its audience. As promised in our 2005 Statement of Programme Policy, we launched a new free to air public service channel, More4. We took E4 free to air, helping make it the strongest digital channel for 16-34 year olds. We increased the range and scope of new media projects, and achieved our highest ever traffic to Channel 4 sites. We fulfilled our ambition to be the most innovative and distinctive broadcaster in the UK, provided effective competition to the BBC, and engaged and challenged our audiences. Channel 4 reinforced its public service commitments and held true to its remit to be innovative, educative and diverse. Programmes such as Jamie’s School Dinners proved that television could still make a difference. Unlike other channels, Channel 4 consistently encouraged new talent, new companies and distinctive voices; this authorship and originality was rewarded with one of its most successful years ever, leading to 10 BAFTA television awards (out of a total of 21). Our continuing commercial success enabled us to increase Channel 4’s 2005 programme budget to £490 million, its highest-ever level and £5 million more than we promised in our Statement of Programme Policy a year ago. We met all our licence commitments, worked with more than three hundred independent producers, and as promised in our Statement maintained our dedication to new talent with an investment of £2.6 million to support new talent and new companies.
