Everything about Joan Of Lorraine totally explained
Joan of Lorraine is a 1946 play-within-a-play by
Maxwell Anderson. It is about an acting company who stages a dramatization of the story of
Joan of Arc and the effect that the story has on them. As in the musical
Man of La Mancha, most of the actors in the drama play two or more roles.
Ingrid Bergman was the star of the original production, playing both Joan and Mary Grey, the fictional star actress who portrays her. Bergman won a
Tony Award for this performance — one of the
first such awards ever given. Other notable actors who appeared in this production were
Joseph Wiseman and
Sam Wanamaker.
In 1948, an adaptation of
Joan of Lorraine was filmed in
Technicolor as
Joan of Arc. This film also starred Ingrid Bergman, but it didn't use the play-within-a-play setup. Instead, it made the story a straightforward account of Joan's life, omitting the fictional acting company altogether. Anderson's dialogue for the story of Joan remains intact in the film, and he even expanded the scenes involving Joan, and added additional historical characters during his collaboration with
Andrew Solt on the screenplay. For her performance, Ingrid Bergman was nominated for an
Academy Award, but lost out to
Jane Wyman in
Johnny Belinda.
