The Lark

On trial before the judges of the Inquisition, Joan of Arc recalls compelling scenes from her life — from her family at home and her glorious victories leading the armies of France, to the wonder of her communion with Saints. She is condemned and sent to the stake but, in this surprising staging, Joan and her story are not finished. Lillian Hellman’s clearly written adaptation of Jean Anouilh’s classic work is a gripping look at historical fact against the background of religious mystery.
