Synopsis "Santa Juana (in Spanish)"

Santa Juana, una de las obras maestras de George Bernard Shaw, se nutre de la peripecia de Juana de Arco, la mítica Doncella de Orleans que, tras señalar el camino de la liberación de Francia, fue condenada a la hoguera. Sin apartarse de la verdad histórica, y haciendo foco en cuestiones como la justicia y la razón, la verdad y la dignidad, es un ejemplo admirable del teatro de ideas.La presente edición rescata la traducción de Gerardo Fernández, que sirvió de base a la memorable puesta de Alejandra Boero, estrenada en el San Martín, en 1982, con una extraordinaria labor de Juana Hidalgo. El volumen incluye estudios críticos sobre el autor y la obra, la palabra de los principales responsables de la puesta y fotografías que la documentan.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an influential Irish playwright, critic, and essayist, known for his sharp satire and witty style. He primarily wrote plays, excelling in social drama and comedies with critical content. His most famous work, Pygmalion (1913), inspired the renowned musical adaptation My Fair Lady. He also wrote Saint Joan (1923), Man and Superman (1903), and Widowers' Houses (1892), among many others.

Shaw received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 for his contribution to literature, especially for his influence on modern theater. His legacy continues thanks to his ability to combine humor, irony, and social criticism in his writings, establishing himself as one of the most significant figures in English-language theater.
