"Saint Joan the Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet" brings together two provocative plays by George Bernard Shaw that explore themes of faith, conscience, and institutional authority.

In "Saint Joan," Shaw dramatizes the life and trial of the iconic Joan of Arc. This masterwork presents Joan not merely as a saint, but as a revolutionary figure whose commitment to her internal voices challenges the religious and political structures of the 15th century. Through sharp dialogue and profound historical insight, Shaw examines the tragic collision between an extraordinary individual and the societal forces of her time.

Accompanying this historical tragedy is "The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet," a one-act play set in the American Wild West. Described by the author as a sermon in crude melodrama, it follows the trial of a horse thief who experiences a sudden, inexplicable spiritual conversion after an encounter with a sick child. Both works showcase Shaw's signature wit and his ability to use the stage as a forum for debating complex moral and theological questions, making this collection a vital example of early 20th-century intellectual drama.
