A troubled cop obsessively searches for a young girl's killer The young girl lies in a ditch without a scratch on her—a white high school student stretched out dead in the black part of Atlanta. She was a rich girl from a cold family, too genteel for the neighborhood where she died, and only the baby in her belly suggests how she might have gotten there. For Detective Frank Clemons, the scene is far too familiar. Too close to how it was when he found his own daughter, dead in the woods by her own hand, her youthful beauty cruelly ravaged by depression. Her suicide ended his marriage and sent him on a downward spiral that has nearly claimed his own life. To hang on to sanity, he must do everything he can to find justice for the...

Description
Saint Joan stands out among George Bernard Shaw’s plays. He’s best known for drawing-room plays exploring social issues; here he writes something closer to a Shakespearean history play, following the fifteenth-century French national hero Joan of Arc through her campaigns and beyond.
Shaw’s preface to the play argues that other tellings of Joan’s story do her a disservice by idealizing her and demonizing her antagonists. By refusing to show the prosecutors at Joan’s trial as cartoonish villains, Shaw introduces real drama into what could easily be cheap melodrama. And Shaw’s fully human Joan is one of his finest creations, which has attracted great...
