SET IN 15th century France, amidst the bloody backdrop of the Hundred Years’ War with
England, the play follows the miraculous life of a simple country girl who changed not only
the tide of the war but also the course of French history. Written in 1923 by George Bernard Shaw, one of England's most celebrated and influential writers, Saint Joan premiered only three years after the official canonization of Joan of Arc as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church.
THE ORCHARD Theater Collective continues its practice of performing in non-traditional venues, this one taking place in the beautiful chapel at Plymouth Congregational Church. This production promises to be a unique theatrical experience, with only 5 actors taking on a host of characters in a distinctive environment.
