The Must be Seen for the Full Impact,
By
This review is from: The Lark. (Paperback)
Although, I haven't actually read the play, I did just see it performed in Stratford, Ontario, at their annual Stratford Festival, with Amanda Plummer in the starring role. I can only say it was gripping and extremely well done, and Amanda Plummer (along with other Canadian big actor Martha Henry) was excellent. The playwright may be writing about a 15th Century young woman, but watching it on stage in today's political and historical circumstances, it sheds a whole different light. I encourage any reader of the play to consider various other historical periods and how they might apply to the themes of this play. This play, to me, uses Joan of Arc, as the storyline, but it is more about man's contradictory nature (among other themes). This Stratford director also set the costumes/set design during WWII, and watching it w/the Nazi/Concentration Camp overtones really made us think. It made for great dialogue with other theater-goers after the show. Definitely a must-see!
