Welcome!
Hello and welcome to TAC’s website! Thank you for taking the time to seek us out. TAC is a new professional theatre company based in SW17. Established in January 2011, TAC was formed with the sole purpose of bringing some much needed Theatre to SW17. Now, as our first anniversary approaches and with two critically acclaimed shows under our belt, we are going great guns! So much so that the Arts Council of England and The Mayor’s Outer London Fund have both generously donated to the TAC cause and for this we are truly grateful - thank you!
If you want to keep abreast of all our events please join our mailing list by simply emailing us at tootingartsclub@yahoo.com putting ‘mailing list’ in the subject field.

Barbarians is Time Out’s Critics’ Choice!
Not that we are one for blowing our own Tooting trumpet or anything, but we are pleaed as punch with some of the reviews that we have been getting! Here’s what the critics are saying about Barbarians:
* * * * Time Out - ‘Fringe theatre at it’s most vital and alive’ Full review
* * * * Exeunt - ‘It’s great to see such creative use of young talent being made in a work by an underrated veteran playwright that still packs a punch today.’ Full review
* * * * Whatsonstage - ‘Well worth a trip south on the northern line.’ Full review
* * * * The Stage - ‘Bristles with excitement and energy … superb cast’ Full Review
It’s 1977. Youth unemployment is at an all time high and the pound is at an all time low. Paul, Jan and Louis are bored, broke and demoralized by the hand that they’ve been dealt. How will these young lads fair with the odds stacked against them? How will they cope?
Topical? Just a bit! TAC are thrilled to have got their hands on the rights to Barrie Keeffe’s magnificent play. Known for writing cult London gangster film The Long Good Friday, as well as plays including SUS and Gotcha, the production will mark the first London run of Keeffe’s Barbarians since the early 1990s. So with the help of the Outer London Fund and The Arts Council of England we return to The Broadway Studios in April with a spring in our step!
