SAINT JOAN
adapted by Ruthie Black
after George Bernard Shaw

8 - 12 April 2026, 7:00pm

9 - 11 April 2026, 3:00pm

Our 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 film.

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?

Directed by Peter Hinton-Davis OC
