Saint Joan

The Olney Theatre Center for the Arts presents Saint Joan by George Bernard Shaw. War with England was dragging on into its 75th year. Chaos reigned. Lawlessness prevailed. In a time of despair for France, hope was born in the form of a very ordinary girl. George Bernard Shaw won the Nobel Prize for literature after he produced this modern view of a young woman– proud, brave, rebellious, and fully human–who challenged the conventions and values of her time. From the masterful pen of one of the wittiest political playwrights of our age, comes the riveting tale of a commoner whose mission changed history.
