    Drama for all ages
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2012*

We all know the story of Saint Joan.  Joan a young French country girl finds herself caught up in a France versus England political struggle.  She has nothing to recommend her for the task, but Shaw portrays her there among her comrades as fearless, confident, inspired.  And she is  And like so many visionaries down the centuries she pays the supreme price.What I love more than the text, and I love the text - brisk, upbeat, re-captuing the various personalities so accurately - what I love more is Shaw's Preface.  Yes, it is long, many paragraphs, and I suppose out of proportion to the length of the text of the play but it contains so much wisdom.  I'll take one example.  He speaks of the VISIONARY and sees the visionary as one who sees further, probes deeper and who DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT.  Oh yes, we all dream dreams, I can come up with solutions to several of the world's problems, but I am not prepared to put my life on the line.  This is only one example but so relevant in today's world of self-glorification.The PLAY presents a delightful Jaon, the Preface invites us to ponder her story.

    GBS. Magnificent Play.
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2022*

Really well edited. I think very well produced paperback version of the script. He is little read or performed now, more's the pity, the nearest the great tradition of UK and Irish drama comes to Brecht. He was enormously influential on contemporary English Language dramatists.

    Shaw at his best
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2006*

Saint Joan is one of my favourite plays, as it combines an interesting historical background (love history) as well as an unordinary Joan d'Arc who is neither good nor bad, but a mixture of the admirable, courageous, exasperating, pitiful, proud. Shaw does not present a romantic, one-sided saintly heroine; instead he shows Joan as the fallible human being she was. And yes, she does become a saint, but she is by no means holy - here's a Joan who's perky, proud, stubborn, yet you can't help being on her side. In addition, Shaw is capable of laughing at both Catholic and Protestant, French and English. In Saint Joan he is at his best, producing a work brimming with irony and social satire, revealing the corruption within the church, the state and the individual. It's not necessary to delve into history books before reading Saint Joan, the well-written introduction will provide you with a wealth of information about the feudal system, the role and status of the church, and Joan of Arc herself. One star less not for the play itself, but for this edition - there are no annotations whatsoever; it would have been very helpful if notes for the play had been provided, because I think there are a lot of allusions to themes in Shaw's other plays, but you're left to figure them out yourself.
