The Trial of Joan of Arc at Rouen by Bertolt Brecht (Farsi)

Brecht’s The Trial of Joan of Arc at Rouen, 1431 offers a stark, minimalist portrayal of Joan’s final days as she stands trial for heresy. Eschewing melodrama, the play uses Brecht’s signature epic theatre techniques to present a stripped-down courtroom setting where Joan’s courage and clarity shine in the face of hypocrisy, manipulation, and ecclesiastical authority. Through concise dialogue and restrained staging, Brecht reframes the familiar tale not as a religious martyrdom, but as a political inquisition. Joan emerges as a lone voice of integrity, confronting a system more interested in obedience than truth.
