Burning Desires
by Joan M. Schenkar

A fiercely comedic reinvention of the story of Joan of Arc, this rollicking and literate comedy for all ages transports the teenaged Joan to 1950's Seattle where it is too wet to burn her.

She drives a Triumph convertible, goes on the warpath with a fabulous Native American princess, and is advised by those mid twentieth century icons Saint Marlene Dietrich, Saint Gertrude Stein, Saint Emily Bronte and Saint Emily Dickinson.

Mad doctors, bad girl and boy scouts and a teenaged Gilles de Raix add to the hilarity.
