Fri 14 Nov 2003 "The Lark",French drama about Joan of Arc by Jean Anouilh at Sanford Meisner from 29 Nov 2003 Center Stage Company will present The Lark a classic French drama about Joan of Arc by Jean Anouilh, translated by Vanya Pawson, from 29 Nov 2003 to 21 Dec 2003 at Sanford Meisner, 164 11th Avenue at 22nd Street, (Off Broadway) Directed by Vanya Pawson, the cast includes Lindsay Halladay, Clay Cockrell, Matt Semrick, Michael Boothroyd, David McCamish, Carlyle Lincoln, Ron Hirt, Peter Whalen, Patrick Mahoney, Silviane Chebance, Max Goldberg, Lino Alvarez, Gloria Garayua. "In this classic drama, which is surprisingly humorous, this fabled telling by Jean Anouilh about the life and legend of Joan of Arc is literally dramatized in front of Joan's persecutors. This is designed to compellingly demonstrate her bravery, faith, and most importantly, her veracity. Despite the sincerity and innocence of the lark, the rigidity of the church will only accept one outcome - a full renunciation of Joan's 'voices'. This though provoking new translation paints a biting and sardonic picture of politics, morality, and religion and how they affect the affairs of men, with not such a distant echo of current events.
