Synopsis
One of Shaw's most unusual and enduringly popular plays. With SAINT JOAN (1923) Shaw reached the height of his fame and Joan is one of his finest creations; forceful, vital, and rebelling against the values that surround her. The play distils Shaw's views on the subjects of politics, religion and creative evolution.
Reviews
On Oct 16 2010, ElectricEel said:
As usual, Shaw works very hard at shocking the reader/viewer. He claims that the first trial, at which Joan was convicted, was more than fair, while the postumous trial, at which she was rehabilitated, was a kangaroo court. But maybe he's right. He also makes it clear that we're all willing to defend Joan now that she's been dead a few hundred years, but that if she were to reappear, we modern liberals would be the first to join the lynch mob.
