THE SECOND COMING OF JOAN OF ARC
Joan was anorectic. She was a teenage runaway. She had an incestuous, alcoholic father. She loved women. She died for her right to wear men’s clothing. She was defiant, irreverent, more clever than her judges, unrepentant, and unfailingly true to her own visions.
In The Second Coming of Joan of Arc, Joan returns to share her story with contemporary women. She tells her experiences with the highest levels of church, state, and military and unmasks the brutal misogyny behind male institutions.
This is a lesbian-themed play, and it is important to me that producers not attempt to "de-lesbianize" their production. The lead role is a gender-non-conforming lesbian butch character and it is important to me that this be respected in casting, directing, and costuming.
