The production is produced in association with Eddie Marks/Ostar. Saint Joan stars three-time Tony Award nominee Condola Rashad (A Doll’s House, Part 2; “Billions”).

Set in 15th century France, Saint Joan follows a country girl whose mysterious visions propel her into elite circles. When the nation’s rulers become threatened by her popularity and influence, they unite to bring her down and she finds herself on trial for her life.
