FROM THE DIRECTOR S aint Joan was the first play that I
chose to direct for my newly formed company, Bedlam, in 2012. I have always enjoyed watching a group of actors work on a bare stage, pulling a story out of thin air, and Saint Joan felt like the perfect choice for that kind of work. It is a play that rests on its own words and ideas and not on spectacle and action. The words, in fact, become the action in that way only the greatest of writers, like Shaw and Shakespeare, can make happen. I knew the play could have great power over an audience; that it was both funny and moving, witty and electric. My aim has been to stay out of its way and allow Shaw’s brilliant dialogue and rhetoric to take center stage.

Like Shakespeare, Shaw is able to write three-dimensional characters, who are inspiring and

frustrating, flawed and heroic, as complex as any living person. With Joan, Shaw has created one of the most exciting characters that an actor can play. Indeed, his play features an entire cast of personalities that are irresistible to embody. This may be why we have continued to perform the piece for five years and why audiences all over the country have responded so strongly to our production.
It is very exciting for us to bring this endeavor to Washington, DC and to Folger Theatre because the text resonates so strongly and is as relevant today as when Shaw wrote it. As a director and performer, I have found great joy and inspiration in this play and in Shaw’s Joan herself as I spar with her, fall in love with her, and send her to the stake on a nightly basis. I am so lucky to experience one of the greatest plays from the inside, and I think you’ll feel the same with just one viewing. But by all means, come back for more so that we have an excuse to keep doing it.

SYNOPSIS
When Shaw’s play begins, Joan is a teenage girl who believes she hears voices from God. These voices tell her it is her destiny to drive the English from France, and her conviction convinces a French military officer to help her see the Dauphin. The Dauphin is impressed by Joan and grants her control of the French army, which she marches to Orléans, a French city under siege by the English. Her arrival corresponds with a change in the wind, allowing the French to sail up the river, surprising the English and freeing the city. Threatened by Joan and her military success, Warwick, de Stogumber, and Cauchon meet. They collectively decide that Joan should be tried for heresy.
Meanwhile, Joan enjoys continued success on the battlefield. When the Dauphin—now King Charles—refuses to continue fighting, Joan sets off to challenge the English without aid of France. She is captured and put on trial for heresy. After a lengthy interrogation, Joan eventually re-asserts the voices she hears are from God. She is sentenced to burn at the stake.
The play ends twenty-five years later when King Charles dreams of Joan. In the dream, he sees that Joan was retried in France and found innocent, and that centuries in the future she will be canonized.

FROM THE DRAMATURG George Bernard Shaw’s Saint Joan: A Chronicle Play in Six Scenes and an Epilogue premiered in 1923, three years after Joan of Arc was canonized by the Catholic Church, and 492 years after she was burnt at the stake by the English for heresy. Some call Saint Joan Shaw’s masterpiece. It is unique in the Shavian canon: the playwright, notoriously irreverent, reveres the maid at every turn. Humility, hardly a virtue ascribed to GBS, peeks out from this description: “All I’ve done is to put down the facts, to arrange Joan for the stage. ... I’ve told the story exactly as it happened. … It is the easiest play I have ever had to write.”
However simple his account, Shaw did more than dramatize historical record. His telling of Joan’s story marks the glory and catastrophe of human progress: our need for visionaries and our resistance to them, our insistence on and despair of change. Joan was probably 17 when, in 1429, she went in pursuit of French victory in the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years’ War. Instructed, she said, by the voices of saints to drive the English out of France and to crown the Dauphin at Reims, this remarkable girl urged support from a magistrate, made her way to the French Court, and from there to the besieged Orléans. Her entrance into the fray raised the siege and with it the hopes of prince and country. Joan’s 10
progress aroused suspicion, faith, and terror, in variegated sequence.
In Joan, Shaw locates genius and imagination. Both confounded her country as well as its enemies. Shaw makes Joan’s imagination a playing field for truth and conscience. It is through imagination, she states early on, that “the messages of God come to us.” For his part, Shaw seems less invested in divine voices than he is in Joan’s own. Her appeals and assertions are impressive. Her voice resonates in speech at once earthy and magnificent. Her enemies, too, find her compelling.
Shaw would challenge the word ‘enemies’ as it applies to Joan’s judges. He insists that there are no villains in the work, that part of Joan’s tragedy is that honest judges confronted her at trial. Their crimes lay in the ideas they defended and in which they believed. Shaw ennobles these men, and has them speak hard truths. Take, for example, Cauchon’s acknowledgment that “mortal eyes cannot distinguish the saint from the heretic.” Joan’s previous dramatists, Shakespeare among them, demonstrate similar shortcomings. Shakespeare’s Joan la Pucelle (trans. “Joan the maid”) in Henry VI, Part I limits the
character, in Shaw’s view, to a “singular moment” of excellence before relegating her to the roles of witch and whore. Arguably, Joan is never free from such stereotyping in Shakespeare’s play: the frequent references to Joan simply as “la pucelle” identify her as a harlot. The English pronunciation of “pucelle” would sound like puzel or pussel in the mouths of male authority. And yet, Saint Joan is considered Shaw’s most Shakespearean play, due to his announcement of a ‘chronicle’ in the title, and mostly for the play’s overlays of genre: history and tragedy infused with comic impulse throughout. (Bedlam’s spirited and brisklypaced production enables us to savor each.) Shaw’s consideration of Joan, however, is markedly different from Shakespeare’s. In spite of her devout Catholicism, Shaw identifies her as an early Protestant martyr because she proclaimed the legitimacy and value of her direct communications with God. Joan challenged religious and secular authority. She put her conscience against the judgment of Church and State. It is our consciences that Shaw insists we recognize at the play’s close. His Epilogue, wildly denounced when the play first appeared, presses us to look into the future of humankind’s relationship with Joan, and, by
extension, with all its saints and upstarts. Twenty-five years after the play’s action (though it may as well be centuries), Joan’s willingness to serve her God and people remains constant. Other characters’ ambitions are more narrowly defined. The Epilogue treats us by turns to comedic irony and wit, albeit with the worry that dreams offer saints occasions to call us to reckoning.

Folger Theatre
Folger Shakespeare Library, opened in 1932, featured the first replica in North America of an Elizabethan theater, a 250-seat space designed to suggest the innyard playing spaces. Founders Henry and Emily Folger envisioned it as a place for the performance of the plays in Shakespeare’s style, and the first nationally televised broadcast of a Shakespeare play in the US was Julius Caesar from the Folger stage in 1949. Folger Theatre produces seasons of Shakespeare, other plays from the period of the Folger’s rare collection, and new work, including commissions, inspired by the period. Including award-winning stagings of more than 70 percent of Shakespeare’s canon, as well as classical and Restoration work, Folger Theatre premiered the original Shakespeare for My Father, Lynn Redgrave’s reminiscence of her theatrical family, as well as Roger
Rees’ What You Will; co-produced Teller and Aaron Posner’s magical Macbeth, released on video; was the first Washington venue to present a production from Shakespeare’s Globe; and has collaborated with the Classical Theatre of Harlem, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, The Guthrie, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, and other theaters across the country. Folger Theatre is the recipient of 30 Helen Hayes Awards including for Outstanding Resident Production for Sense & Sensibility, The Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, and Measure for Measure.
