A Woman. A Room. A Saint. A Demon.
Joan of Arc like you've never seen before.
On the eve of war, Joan battles with her demons, rousing her troops to the battlefield, the salvation of France, and certain death.
John Reed takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s Henry VI mention of Joan of Arc and restructures them (along with several other classic Shakespeare texts) in order to allow Joan to tell her own story: that of a complex human- a child soldier, thrust into a war she did not start.
La Pucelle urges us to protect our young heroes just as much as they protect us.
