BAM wishes to thank Theatre Development Fund for its support of this presentation. Out of Joint is the London based touring company founded by Max Stafford-Clark and Sonia Friedman in 1993. Max Stafford-Clark comes to Out of Joint from The where he was Artistic Director from 1979 to 1993. Prior to this he founded Joint Stock Theatre Group with William Gaskill and Out of Joint's name celebrates this link. The company's aim has been to generate and produce new writing for the stage and to tour this work both nationally and internationally. On occasion a classic ha~ been paired with a new play and both have been performed in repertory. Out of Joint's inaugural production was Sue Townsend's The Queen and I, initially produced with Jim Cartwright's 1980s classic, Road. The Queen and I toured and played in the West End before touring Australia extensively earlier last year. ' new play on the life of the Restoration rake and poet Earl of Rochester was called The Ubertine and played with a revival of Etherege's Restoration classic, The Man of Mode. Last year Timberlake Wertenbaker wrote The Break of Day which was produced in repertoire with Chekhov's Three Sisters. Three Sisters also played a memorable season in promenade at Rossway Park, a large country house outside London. The Steward of Christendom won much praise for Sebastian Barry, for Donal McCann and for the company. It has already run for two seasons at both the Royal Court Theatre in London and the Gate Theatre in Dublin. It has played to acclaim in Luxembourg, Australia and New Zealand. Out of Joint's most recent production, Shopping And Fucking, began life at the Royal Court in September 1996. It has already toured England and become a focus of national interest. It is currently being revived in the West End. Later this year it will embark on a world tour. Further ahead Out of Joint's production plans include new plays by Caryl Churchill, Sebastian Barry, April de Angelis and Mark Ravenhill. Out of Joint is a new voice in English theater, but has already become an · important producer of new writing and has shown that radical work generates animated audiences on tour as well as in London.

From the Playwright The Steward of Christendom is the fifth in a series of plays looking for the lost, hidden or seldom mentioned people in one Irish family. The other plays are Boss Grady's Boys, Prayers of Sherkin, White Woman Street and The Only True History of Uzzie Finn. In a way, the approach to my great-grand­ father Thomas Dunne was the most worrying, because he was, according to whispered family history, the last Catholic head of the Dublin Metropolitan Police before its change in regime in 1922. In the folklore of Dublin working­ class life and Trades Union history he hardly holds an enviable place. He was the man with responsibility for Dublin Castle, the very hea rt of British rule in Ireland. Yet he was a cou ntryman, whose father was the steward of an old estate in Wicklow. His tastes were simple. He was a big strong person in his heyday. It was only when I began to think of him as an old man, alone in the county home in Baltinglass, boggy in the head and thinner and unpredictable enough to have his grandchildren kept away from him, that I was able to overcome a certain fear of his life and reach the man himself. I've had to recreate him from hints and largely imagine him. He is never going to be a comfortable ancestor. But he could not be denied his place among the plays for all that.

- Sebastian Barry, 1995 Background Robert Emmet was an Irish revolutionary hero who inspired the abortive rising of 1803. He was the youngest son of the physician to the Lord Lieutenant and had a distinguished career as a student at Trinity College, Dublin before he became prominent in United Irishmen's activities. Emmet led the Dublin rising in 1803 which led to the murder of the Lord Chief Justice but, rec­ ognizing the rising was a fiasco, lived in hiding in the Wicklow mountains and, before being able to flee the country, was captured, tried for treason, found guilty and hanged in September 1803.

Michael Collins was an Irish revolutionary leader and a hero of the struggle for independence. He entered the British Civil Service and went to London in 1906, where he became interested in Irish nationalist activities and joined the first Sinn Fein brotherhood. In 1916 Collins returned to Ireland to fight in the Easter Rising in Dublin, becoming the first Sinn Fein Minister for Home Affairs in 1918. Famous in a military capacity, Collins was the adjutant general of volunteers in the Irish Republican Army and signed the Peace Treaty in 1921. Collins was elected chairman of the provisional government but administration was impossible--civil life had been destroyed in the guerilla war. Collins flung himself into the Civil War, becoming Head of State Army after the death of Griffith. On 22 August, traveling to Cork, Collins' party was ambushed and he was shot through the head. In some respects Collins is considered a sort of "Irish JFK" figure.

James Larkin was born of an Irish family who had emigrated and settled in Liverpool. As a young man Larkin worked in the Liverpool Docks, becoming an active socialist and organizer of the National Union of Dock Laborers. He moved to Belfast in 1907 and founded the Irish Transport and General Workers Union, one of the first trade unions in Irish history, with membership reaching 10,000 by 1913. Larkin's strikes won pay raises for the workers; however, in the strike of the Dublin Tram workers 25,000 men were off work and faced a grim winter. Larkin asked the British TUC to take sympathetic strike action but they refused and the Irish strikers went back to work. Larkin then broke with the British TUC and left Ireland for America.
