I, Joan

The men are all fighting, again. An endless war. From nowhere, an unexpected leader emerges. Young, poor and about to spark a revolution. This is Joan.
Written by Charlie Josephine and directed by Ilinca Radulian, this radical reimagining of the story of Joan of Arc for Shakespeare’s Globe in Summer 2022 imagined Joan as a non-binary teenager.
Staged on a 10ft skate ramp built into the historic Globe stage, this was a dynamic and joyful reimagining of Joan’s story.
