I, Joan

Directed by Lee Stone

Charlie Josephine’s complete reimagining of the story of Joan of Arc upset some critics when it opened in London in 2022, but was celebrated by others, and by audiences, for its extraordinary, exuberant energy. This Joan is a non-binary person, fighting for their freedom as well as for France’s liberty from English rule, fueled by their utter belief in their mission (and its divine support), curbed by a small-minded establishment, but ultimately triumphant. A gloriously counterfactual, rivetingly theatrical rethinking of history by one of the most exciting voices in contemporary drama.
