Joan of Lorraine (1946, Ingrid Bergman) - repro
Choose options
Maxwell Anderson’s brilliant meta-theatrical dramatic masterpiece 'Joan of Lorraine' permanently altered the commercial stage landscape during its historic 1946 premiere at the Alvin Theatre, running for an astonishing 199 performances. Conceived as a highly stylized play within a play, the textually rich narrative unfolds on a bare rehearsal stage, tracking an elite company of contemporary actors as they prepare to stage a historical play about Joan of Arc, collapsing into an intense ideological war between an idealistic leading lady and her director over compromise. Directed by Margo Jones, the production famously starred silver-screen icon Ingrid Bergman.
