EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment from George Bernard Shaw's iconic play, Saint Joan. In the image, Sybil Thorndike brilliantly portrays the titular character, Joan of Arc, a peasant girl who rises to become a military leader and a revered figure in French history, despite facing skepticism and opposition from the Church and the nobility. Ernest Thesiger masterfully portrays the Dauphin, the future King Charles VII of France, who is initially skeptical of Joan's claims to divine guidance. The scene depicted here takes place during Joan's trial for heresy, where she is accused of wearing men's clothing and claiming to hear voices from the saints. The Dauphin, who has been observing Joan's trial, approaches her with a mixture of curiosity and disbelief. The costumes, authentic to the medieval period, transport us back to the 15th century, while the production design and staging evoke the somber and dramatic atmosphere of the trial. This photograph, taken circa 1926, is a testament to the enduring power of Shaw's play and the extraordinary performances of its cast. Sybil Thorndike's portrayal of Joan as a complex and compelling character, who is both a religious visionary and a martyr, continues to inspire audiences to this day. Ernest Thesiger's nuanced portrayal of the Dauphin adds depth to the narrative, highlighting the historical and political complexities of the time. Overall, this photograph is a must-see for anyone interested in theatre history, religious drama, or the works of George Bernard Shaw.
