Theatre review: The Steward of Christendom hits the right side of history
A scene from The Steward of Christendom. Picture: Agata Stoinska
Gate Theatre, ★★★★☆
It could hardly have been otherwise: Owen Roe is magnificent in this revival of Sebastian Barry’s 1995 memory play. In the role made legendary by Donal McCann, Roe cuts a beleaguered figure as Thomas Dunne, a former chief superintendent of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, losing his wits in a 1930s Wicklow asylum.
