Saint Joan: A Chronicle Play in Six Scenes and an Epilogue (Shaw, Bernard, Bernard Shaw Library.)
Saint Joan A Chronicle Play in Six Scenes and an Epilogue - Shaw, Bernard, Bernard Shaw Library.
Author: Bernard Shaw, Dan H. Laurence
With Saint Joan, Shaw reached the height of his fame as a dramatist. Fascinated by the story of Joan of Arc (canonized in 1920), but unhappy with "the whitewash which disfigures her beyond recognition," he presents a realistic Joan: proud, intolerant, naïve, foolhardy, always brave-a rebel who challenged the conventions and values of her day.

 reviewed Saint Joan: A Chronicle Play in Six Scenes and an Epilogue (Shaw, Bernard, Bernard Shaw Library.) on
This play is an inaccurate interpretation of the events and many of the people surrounding Joan of Arc.

The play itself is dramatic and enjoyable as a whole. I'd like to see a stage version.
