Saint Joan
by George Bernard Shaw

Chichester Festival Theatre, 1963
Edinburgh Festival, 1963

Role: Dunois

At Chichester, his first role was Dunois in Shaw's Saint Joan opposite Robert Stephens as the Dauphin.

From a play fact sheet from Jeanne d'Arc Web site:  

Dunois is the responsible and courageous young commander of Joan's army. He is good-looking and very good-natured. Like Joan, he has a sense of purpose and a sense of duty. He is also known as "the Bastard," for he is the illegitimate cousin of the Duke of Orleans. Although he is a brilliant commander, he has no personal ambitions and serves his king and country loyally. He also serves Joan, believing her to be a good soldier and leader. In fact, he is one of the few friends that Joan can rely on during the play.

Joan Plowright played Joan of Arc in these productions.
