See Tony Award-Winning Brian Dennehy in at the Mark Taper Forum Star of stage and screen, Brian Dennehy (Death of a Salesman, Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Cocoon) delivers a stunning performance as Thomas Dunne in this profound and poignant drama. Set in an Irish county mental home circa the early 1930s, 75-year-old Thomas Dunne’s mind lapses in and out of lucidity as he ruminates on a string of bittersweet memories. Between thoughts of his youth to thoughts of his adult life, with his wife and children, to memories of his time as the head of Dublin’s Metropolitan Police, Dunne struggles to make sense of his life as the world around him falls apart. Already a story of unquestionable power, The Steward of Christendom is shaped into something unforgettable by Dennehy’s extraordinary performance.

THE CRITICAL WINDOW during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for LANGUAGE/VOCABULARY: “Vocabulary” development is 2 years through adult. The more opportunity children have for positive language/vocabulary experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. Some Language/Vocabulary: “Vocabulary” (Pt. 2) tidbits for building a strong foundation for reading and literacy: FROM 24 – 30 months, * TODDLER likely uses at least 2 of the following prepositions: “in,” “on,” “under.” * LISTEN TO what she has to say and answer her questions. * ANSWERING his questions supports his ever broadening curiosity. * HAVING a back and forth conversation with her gives practice in and models how people communicate – both listening and speaking.
