Saint Joan

Bernard Shaw

⏱ 8 minDrama

A farm girl from Lorraine hears her saints, crowns a king, and routs the English with sheer common sense — until church and crown together send her to the stake, and a wiser age makes her a saint. Shaw's clear-eyed tragedy of the heretic the world can only love once she is safely dead.
