I might very well be talking about her Flay! Would you like to post your findings upon her?
Joan of Arc:-
Verdi - Giovanna d'Arco
Tchaikovsky - The Maid of Orleans
Honneger - Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher
Bernstein - incidental music for L'Alouette (The Lark), a play influenced by the d'Arc story
Very good Flay, the play of course was by Jean Anhouil, there were so many to choose from including Gounod, Brecht (St. Joan of the Stockyards). GB Shaw, Mark Twain, and of course, the inspiration for Verdi and Tchaik, was Schiller. Question inspired by previous by ferney being burnt at the stake ........... so, the answer is Joan! Edit: Ferney was not of course burnt at the stake .... he merely singed the lasagne!

Indeed it is! Go on, spit out the K. I know it's obvious. I'm out in a minute...
It's not obvious!! I mean... (cue QI klaxon): Montagues & Capulets in S. Prok's "R&J"... but where's the K, I arskes ya, where's the K???
