Studio 21

Studio 21, the Tacoma theater that is known for doing its own thing, is doing it again by staging “The Steward of Christendom.” The play tells the story of Thomas Dunne, who is the last chief superintendent of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. The Metro Police was an organization devoted to the British crown and disbanded after the Irish war of independence in the 1920s. Regarded by some as a traitor, Dunne is an aging, broken man, alone and confined in a country home.
