Description

Joan: daughter, farm girl, visionary, patriot, king-whisperer, soldier, leader, victor, icon, radical, witch, heretic, saint, martyr, woman.

From the torment of the Hundred Years’ War, the charismatic Joan of Arc carved a victory that defined France. Bernard Shaw's classic play depicts a woman with all the instinct, zeal and transforming power of a revolutionary.

Josie Rourke (Coriolanus, Les Liaisons Dangereuses) directs Gemma Arterton (Gemma Bovery, Nell Gwynn, Made in Dagenham) as Joan of Arc in this electrifying masterpiece.

“Gemma Arterton is radiantly persuasive in this richly rewarding revival by Josie Rourke”
“Highly recommended”
INDEPENDENT

“Arterton is luminescent as Joan.”
THE TIMES

“Josie Rourke’s production shows that Shaw’s observations about class, religion and gender are still relevant”
EVENING STANDARD

“Gemma Arterton turns in the best stage performance I’ve seen her give. She’s electrifying every moment she’s on stage”
TIME OUT

THE STAGE
