Joan of Arc

'Joan of Arc' is a play in five acts written by a female playwright, Jane Alice Sargant. It is inspired by the life of Joan of Arc, a heroine of France for her role in the siege of Orléans and the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years' War against England. After successfully leading several French military actions, she was captured, handed over to English authorities, convicted as a heretic, and burnt at the stake in 1431.
