Everything here is simply Saintly
Saint Joan **** Duddingston Kirk Manse Garden GEORGE Bernard Shaw considered Saint Joan to be his greatest work and it's easy to see why. And Theatre Alba's production, imaginatively directed by Charles Nowosielski, sees the actors add to this in a stunning loch-side setting.
Strong performances make it hard to single out individuals but Anna Guthrie is an impressive Joan, wholly believable as the wide-eyed village girl terrified but inspired by her mission. Philip Kingscott is an ebullient but malleable Dauphin; Robin Thomson, a chilling Inquisitor; and David Elliot, a cavalier but courageous soldier.
It's rare to see a complete production of a classic play on the Fringe, let alone in such a spectacular setting.
