Joan

Following a sell-out run at the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it won a Scotsman Fringe First Award, The Stage Award and Spirit of the Fringe Award, Milk Presents is taking Joan on tour.

Meet Joan of Arc as Milk Presents brings to life history’s greatest gender warrior in a multi-award winning show that fuses lyrical writing with cabaret prowess. An earthy story of courage, conviction and hope, Joan is performed by drag king champion Lucy Jane Parkinson in a show that sees history’s greatest gender-warrior dragging up as the men she defies.

Packed with guts and heart, this fearless solo play (with songs) asks what happens when a disguise becomes real and you have to fight for who you really are. Written and directed by Lucy J Skilbeck, the production takes us through the life of Joan of Arc from early adolescence – guided by Saint Catherine - to her death, burned at the stake at just 19, dressed in men’s clothing.
