Considered by many to be George Bernard Shaw's greatest play and one of the greatest plays ever written, Saint Joan was perhaps the lynch pin in his Nobel Prize win in 1925.
Saint Joan stars three-time Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad (A Doll’s House, Part 2) as one of history’s greatest heroines in a major new production of Bernard Shaw’s epic work directed by Daniel Sullivan (Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes).
Set in 15th century France, Saint Joan follows a country girl whose mysterious visions propel her into elite circles. When the nation’s rulers become threatened by her popularity and influence, they unite to bring her down and she finds herself on trial for her life. This timeless and powerful play dramatizes the limits of an individual in a society dominated by overwhelming political and religious forces.
