Saint Joan

Theater in the Historic Y In what many consider to be Shaw's greatest play, we meet Joan of Arc: not a saint, a witch, or a madwoman, but a French farm girl who is anything but simple—an illiterate intellectual, a true genius whose focus on the individual rocked the Church and State. |

"Great direction. Sets - very clever use of the curtains. Music - WOW! Always nice to have it match the play and have the added grace to exactly allow for smooth transitions and scene changes. We really, really enjoyed the play. Keep up the super work."

"What a pleasure to see your fine production of St. Joan this weekend! The staging was clever and underpinned the themes quite nicely. Good work, and a lot of work."

"Your production is proof of something I've long believed - that ideas as well as ideals can be the stuff of heightened drama. You were able to make the play much more emotionally invested than is usually the case with Shaw. The convictions portrayed were indeed matters of life and death and the play gained from it being as much about the "sides" surrounding Joan as about Joan herself. I found the movement of the curtains to be potent and stirring."
