Peasant – Soldier – Saint – Flyleaf Theatre Company presents Saint Joan, Bernard Shaw's epic about the life and death of Joan of Arc.

$28 - $35 (plus service fees)
90 mins
25 June - 5 July

Peasant – Soldier – Saint.

Written in 1923, following Joan of Arc’s canonization as a saint in 1920, Bernard Shaw’s masterpiece about a young woman’s resistance against foreign occupiers, misogyny and false faith is as blazingly relevant now, as it was 100 years ago.

Funny, heartbreaking and urgent, Flyleaf Theatre Company’s edited version of Saint Joan will be a vital production for our time. Featuring an incredible cast, led by a blazing performance from Bronwyn Ensor as Joan, fresh from a season of ATC’s Murder on the Orient Express.

Experience the enduring relevance of Bernard Shaw’s powerful masterpiece, celebrating the triumphs and struggles of one of the most iconic figures in history.

‘A top-tier masterpiece’ – Wall Street Journal

‘What amazes me is that we have managed to live without this potent political masterpiece for so long’ – The Guardian
