In the 1990s he was Artistic Director of the Young Vic Theatre in London.

Tim launched Dash Arts with Josephine Burton in 2005 to create new performance in collaboration with artists from abroad. In 2006 he created a multi-lingual A Midsummer Night’s Dream in India: an international success known widely as The Indian Dream, the production subsequently completed two tours of India, extensive tours of the UK, Australia and North America, two seasons at Stratford-upon-Avon and a season at the Roundhouse in London. In 2011 Tim created a new theatrical adaptation of One Thousand and One Nights with the celebrated Lebanese author Hanan al Shaykh.

The production was developed over two years of research and rehearsal in North Africa and the Middle East with a cast and creative team drawn entirely from the Arabic speaking world. Performed in three languages over six hours, One Thousand and One Nights had its European premier at Edinburgh International Festival in August. It will play in London, on tour in the UK and internationally in 2013/4.
