REVIEW: SAINT JOAN (Donmar Warehouse) ★★★

Joan of Arc is one of the most documented historical figures from the 15th century and so despite being around more than 1600 years ago, her story has survived and can be accurately told. Bernard Shaw’s 1923 play about ‘The Maid’, Joan of Arc, returns to the West End at the Donmar Warehouse, directed by […]
