À propos de cet audio

With Saint Joan, George Bernard Shaw reached the height of his fame as a dramatist. Fascinated by the story of Joan of Arc but unhappy with "the whitewash which disfigures her beyond recognition," he presents a realistic Joan at war not just with British invaders but with realpolitik. This is a masterpiece of the theater of ideas, presented in the most eloquent, vital, human, and moving terms. Blackstone commissioned this production from the award-winning Hollywood Theater of the Ear.

Ce que les critiques en disent

  • Audie Award Winner, Audio Drama, 2011

“St. Joan contains not only some of the playwright's most acerbic writing but also his most poetic.” (New York Times)
“...[T]he most fervent thing Shaw ever wrote – the play that is poetically the most moving, that comes closest to high tragedy, a work inspired with a truly elating sense of justice; a work in which the mature rationality of en esprit fort that has outgrown the confines of the eighteenth and even the nineteenth century, bows before sanctity; a work fully deserving its world fame.” (Thomas Mann)

listening to the play provided an enlightening view of historical events. Joan's performance is a highlight.

Bernard Shaw's social commentary is timeless.
