The Second Coming of Joan of Arc and Other Plays

Plot

In this stunning collection of seven plays, Carolyn Gage shows us the real women behind the sterile patriarchal stereotypes: the angry teenage lesbian Joan of Arc; the alcoholic butch Calamity Jane; the Louis May Alcott with repressed incest memories; the political prisoner known as "Typhoid Mary"; the lesbian Jane Addams. Blazing with anger and crackling with wit, Gage's women redraw the map of contemporary theatre in a formidable bid to TAKE BACK THE STATE!

Blazing with anger and crackling with wit!
