#13 St. Joan

Yuri Rasovsky reaches back in time masterfully adapting Bernard Shaw's masterpiece Saint Joan into a vivid radio drama depicting the life of Joan of Arc. Starring Amy Irving in the role of Joan of Arc. St. Joan is a tale for the ages.

From HTE:
"Joan of Arc, a village girl from the Vosges, was born about 1412 — burnt for heresy, witchcraft, and sorcery in 1431 — rehabilitated after a fashion in 1456 — designated Venerable in 1904 — declared Blessed in 1908 — and finally canonized in 1920. She is the most notable Warrior-Saint in the Christian calendar, and the queerest fish among the eccentric worthies of the Middle Ages." — Bernard Shaw
