The Third and Final Chapter:
How Do You Torture a Woman?
20% Theatre Completes One-Woman series
with a visit from Joan of Arc
“So… how do you torture a woman? … Well – you can tie her up on the rack and rip her bones apart from the sockets… Or you can tear apart her mind and her body… Either way, it works out to the same thing: You stop the woman.”
The 20% Theatre Company, Twin Cities, completes its one-woman play series this spring with a visit from Joan of Arc… Or, excuse me, Jeanne Romée, which was the supposed Saint’s real name… Based on the transcripts of Joan of Arc’s 15th century trial, and written by lesbian actress, playwright, and activist, Carolyn Gage, The Second Coming of Joan of Arc gives Joan a highly feminist, often cynical and humorous voice with which to tell her real story to today’s society. Joan was anorexic. She was a teenage runaway. She had an incestuous, alcoholic father. She slept with women and fought for her right to wear men's clothing. She was defiant, irreverent, more clever than her judges, unrepentant, and unfailingly true to her own visions.
Full of conversational wit and gorgeously horrific imagery, the play animates Joan’s capture, imprisonment, trial, and fierydeath through the staging and voice of one single actress: Katie Kaufmann.
