Four-time Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad takes on the iconic role of Joan of Arc in the Manhattan Theatre Club's production of the 1923 Bernard Shaw classic. Although the production marks the eighth Broadway revival for the play, it was last performed on the Great White Way at the Lyceum Theatre back in 1993.
Director Daniel Sullivan's take on the classic is noble and classy with a striking church organ-inspired set design by Scott Pask, coupled together with Christopher Ash's at times firey and at times mystical projections that are never overused.
Saint Joan is an engaging history lesson brought to life by a talented ensemble cast, with standout performances by Patrick Page and Adam Chanler-Berat, in particular. And the jewel in the crown is Shaw's final scene - a dream sequence that utterly captivates and is sure to catch out those unfamiliar with the play with a pleasant surprise or two.

SAINT JOAN stars three-time Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad (A Doll’s House, Part 2) as one of history’s greatest heroines in a major new production of Bernard Shaw’s epic work directed by Daniel Sullivan (Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes).
Set in 15th century France, SAINT JOAN follows a country girl whose mysterious visions propel her into elite circles.

This timeless and powerful play dramatizes the limits of an individual in a society dominated by overwhelming political and religious forces.
