I, Joan

This year, the Globe’s traditional end of summer season new play is a historical drama about Joan of Arc, written by actor and playwright Charlie Josephine. We don’t know a huge amount about the actual plot at this stage, but it seems the general vibe will be about how poor peasant hero Joan kicked the men on both sides of the Hundred Years War into touch, at least for a while. It’ll also offer an exploration of Joan’s gender identity, with Joan here explicitly depicted as non-binary, with the role played by non-binary actor Isobel Thom. Ilinca Radulian will direct.
