A simple country girl who claims to hear divine voices and appears to produce miracles with ease declares her holy mission to drive the English from 15th century France and to crown the reluctant Dauphin as king. With staggering confidence and unshakable faith, she wages a battle that threatens the very fabric of society and the church, for which she will pay with her life. Shaw’s masterpiece of provocative political thinking is witty, tempestuous and potently dramatic.

Steve's Take: This epic true story of a strong, inspiring woman, centuries ahead of her time and caught between the forces of the church and the law, is both fiercely poetic and wonderfully accessible.
