| | Literary Encyclopedia: Joint Stock Theatre Company |
 | | In the mid-1980s, Joint Stock also became strongly committed to issues of racial and sexual parity in representation, even as it struggled with funding due to changing government arts policies; amid grant losses affecting all of British theatre at the time and personnel burnout, the company closed in 1989. |
 | | Joint Stocks lasting commitments were to producing new writing, exploring the artistic process, seeking innovative theatrical forms, and registering social critique. |
 | | The context for Joint Stocks practices and aims were progressive and experimental art movements, left-wing politics, and counter-countercultural social practices, but the group was not against success and recognition either. |
