Milk Presents, in association with Derby Theatre

JOAN

By Lucy J Skilbeck

An earthy story of courage, conviction and hope, this is Joan of Arc. Performed by drag king champion Lucy Jane Parkinson, history’s greatest gender-warrior takes to the stage, dragging up as the men she defies in this smash-hit show.

Packed with guts and heart JOAN is a captivating fusion of lyrical new writing and cabaret prowess from the multi-award winning Milk Presents.

What happens when a disguise becomes something a lot more real and you have to fight for who you really are? A fearless solo play, with uproarious songs, about what it means to stand out, stand up and stand alone.

Winner of the Scotsman Fringe First Award, Stage Award and Spirit of the Fringe Award 2016

JOAN, Jeremiah and Terror from the Skies are part of Creative Scene’s ‘We The People’, a season of shows about real people making real change.
