joseph stalian surname is a word on a play
It appears there may be a misunderstanding or a typo in your question. I am not aware of a person named "Joseph Stalian" directly associated with a play whose surname itself is a word in a play. However, it is possible you might be referring to a character in a play whose name or situation is symbolic or meaningful within the context of the play. Without more specific information, it is challenging to provide an accurate answer.
If you provide additional context or details, I would be happy to try to help you further. Alternatively, if "Stalian" is meant to refer to someone else, such as a playwright or a character whose name is part of a title of a play or a line within a play, please provide the correct name or additional details so I can provide you with the information you're looking for.
