The Second Coming of Joan of Arc (Hattiesburg)

by carolyn gage

An explosive performance of a cross-dressing, runaway, lesbian Joan of Arc who has returned from the dead to share her experiences of patriarchal betrayal with contemporary audiences.

Gage is the author of fifty plays and six books on lesbian theatre, performs in her own work, electrifying audiences as ” a living manifestation of the power of articulate anger.” The play was a smash hit in Brazil, has been featured on NPR, and is the title play for this year’s national winner of the Lambda Literary Award in Drama.

“… Carolyn Gage is one of the best lesbian playwrights in America…”—Lambda Book Report, Los Angeles.

“The culture of women we have never had is invented in Carolyn Gage’s brilliant and beautiful plays.”—Andrea Dworkin, feminist philosopher activist, and author.

“The work of an experienced and esteemed playwright like Carolyn Gage is the air that modern theatre needs.”—Jewelle Gomez, author of The Gilda Stories, San Francisco Arts Commissioner.
