"TNT started with nothing but three unemployed actors in my mum’s little car. Decades later TNT has become the most popular touring theatre in the world. How that came about, and maybe why, is the subject of this book. "
In 1980, ​The Guardian newspaper described TNT as “the most interesting development on the current theatrical scene". 40 years later it still is “the world’s most popular touring theatre company.” (China National TV)
TNT gives more performances in more countries in a single year than any other theatre company in the word.

"I've known TNT since 2003, and I took them to China for the first time in 2005 for performance. The first play was 'Macbeth' and it was very successful. Since then, Paul has been invited to Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center and other theatres in China to direct plays. We had a very happy cooperation with him. TNT is also very famous in China now, they have a large audience in China and are loved by them." ​
