Saint Joan of the Anthropocene
A contemporary set re-imagining of George Bernard Shaw's drama Saint Joan, written by Linda Marshall Griffiths and inspired by Greta Thunberg.
In Saint Joan of the Anthropocene, Linda Marshall Griffiths reimagines Bernard Shaw鈥檚 classic play Saint Joan - setting the narrative in a contemporary context where Saint Joan is a young British climate activist. The drama is inspired by Greta Thunberg and Fridays For Future; a youth-led global climate strike movement.
One of the biggest questions for a young activist is: how far should I go? If nothing changes, even as politicians promise change will come, then what do I do?
A genius may appear only once in a generation, but perhaps all those young people who understand what the world could look like, can become a new kind of genius that makes Joan's vision real.
