L'alouette

L'alouette - Jean Anouilh Anouilh's beautiful tribute to Jeanne d'Arc, by all accounts one of the most inspiring and lovable people in history. We arrested her on trumped-up charges and burned her alive when she was only nineteen. Funny how often that kind of thing happens.

We? Oh, I don't know. The British. The ruling elite. Men. People.
