With this classic, Shaw reached the height of his fame as a dramatist. Fascinated by the story of Joan of Arc, but unhappy with the way she had traditionally been depicted, Shaw wanted to remove 'the whitewash which disfigures her beyond recognition'. He presents a realistic Joan; proud, intolerant, naïve, foolhardy, and always brave - a rebel who challenged the conventions and values of her day.
