A famous playwright translates a gem of a play by a French
playwright and Broadway has the unique emotional experience of
seeing the part of Joan of Aye fully realized in the person of
Julie Harris. The story shifts back and forth in time, so that the
trial provides background for each step of the timeless story. This
is the English text in book form. (Kirkus Reviews)
To the great lords of her time as well as the politicians of the
Church expediency was God. So the Maid had to die. So to Warwick
and Cauchon, her life has the'somewhat artificial, and certainly
impersonal, quality of a play. Short scenes from it are played out
during the trial as they struggle to turn her simplicity into
heresy. But it is the glory of her life rather than the tragedy
that is the triumphant climax of the play.5 women, 13 men
