Saint Joan

SAINT JOAN distills Shaw’s four-hour epic to a taut ninety minutes. In an imagined modern interrogation room, Joan of Arc’s life and encounters, miracles and trials are enacted by Joan and her Interrogator.

Sometimes courtroom reality documentary, sometimes confessional TikTok – sometimes a movie playing in their minds; it is both at once a live play and dream.

SAINT JOAN is renowned for its ability to present opposing viewpoints in a way that is so compelling, we are left to argue and debate what the answers might be… Is Saint Joan an argument against the war, or for it? Is Joan a pawn in a political alliance or a revolutionary?
