Saint Joan: A Chronicle Play in Six Scenes and an Epilogue Audiobook (Free)

“Joan of Arc, a village girl through the Vosges, was born about 1412-burnt for heresy, witchcraft, and sorcery in 1431-rehabilitated after a fashion in 1456-designated Venerable in 1904-declared Blessed in 1908-and finally canonized in 1920. She is the most known Warrior-Saint in the Christian calendar, and the queerest fish among the eccentric worthies of the center Age groups.”-George Bernard Shaw

With Saint Joan, Shaw reached the height of his fame as a dramatist. Fascinated with the storyplot of Joan of Arc but unhappy with “the whitewash which disfigures her beyond identification,” he presents an authentic Joan at battle not just with United kingdom invaders but with realpolitik. That is a masterpiece of the movie theater of ideas, shown in probably the most eloquent, essential, human, and shifting conditions. Blackstone commissioned this production in the award-winning Hollywood Theatre of the Hearing.
