Four-time Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad (A Doll's House, Part 2) stars 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. When the nation's rulers become threatened by her popularity and influence, they unite to bring her down and she finds herself on trial for her life. This timeless and powerful play dramatizes the limits of an individual in a society dominated by overwhelming political and religious forces.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Saint Joan
Theater Review: Saint Joan, With Armor But Not Packing Much Heat
7 / 10
if your first experience of Shaw or his Joan is Sullivan's tepid production and its disappointingly soft starring turn by Condola Rashad, you could be forgiven for writing this vigorous play and its fascinating playwright off as a collective bore.
‘Saint Joan’ review: Condola Rashad is a force in engrossing drama
8 / 10
On the heels of Lincoln Center Theater's acclaimed revival of 'My Fair Lady' (which is based on Shaw's 1913 comedy of manners 'Pygmalion'), Manhattan Theatre Club is presenting a straightforward, generally effective production of his 1923 tragedy 'Saint Joan' with three-time Tony nominee Condola Rashad ('A Doll's House, Part 2,' the Showtime series 'Billions') as Joan of Arc.
