Afternoon Play: The Maids of Orleans

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Beatrice Colin's play is set in France in the dark days of 1940. As the Germans advance from Paris, three women - an heiress, a journalist and a poet - escape to a chateau in the Loire valley. They have sworn to counter bullets with words, and violence with feminism. But like latter-day Joans of Arc, they discover that idealism has a price.
