About Max Stafford-Clark

Maxwell Robert Guthrie Stewart "Max" Stafford-Clark is a British theatre director. Stafford-Clark then co-founded the Joint Stock Theatre Company in 1974. It became known as Stockroom, presumably as a reference to Stafford-Clark's work in co-founding and leading his first company (Joint Stock). The name Out of Joint had cleverly used a famous three word phrase in Shakespeare's Hamlet to simultaneously describe the evolutionary legacy from Stafford-Clark's first company. In 1993, he founded the Out of Joint touring company with producer Sonia Friedman, one of her first ventures after leaving the National Theatre.
