Saint Joan is a compelling play by George Bernard Shaw that dives into the life of Joan of Arc, a 15th-century French military icon. Premiering in 1923, just three years after her canonization by the Roman Catholic Church, the play captures Shaws perspective that the individuals involved in Joans trial acted based on their convictions. In his preface, Shaw eloquently states, “There are no villains in the piece. Crime, like disease, is not interesting it is something to be done away with by general consent, and that is all [there is] about it. It is what men do at their best, with good intentions, and what normal men and women find that they must and will do in spite of their intentions, that really concern us.” Modern British author Clive James reflects on the transformative impact of Shaws writing, noting that it led him toward a more compassionate understanding of Christianity. Join us as we explore this profound work that still resonates today. (Summary by Wikipedia and David Wales)Copyright Romance Stories アート 世界 戯曲・演劇
