...Several years ago, when West Bank Palestinian leaders met with Prime Minister Eshkol, they said. 'Do you think Nasser or Hussein care about us? They care only about their careers. If there is another war, whoever wins, we will be the losers. Our two nations--Palestinians and Israelis--must coexist,' they continued. 'We have a lot of claims, but our two nations have to solve the problems ourselves...
...Joan that ultimately fascinates Keneally is Saint Joan. To him, her voices are as real as she is. Why not? Keneally's world of 1420 is full of voices - from all sorts of prophets, as trologers, witches. Every oak grove is "enchanted timber."

As the players are rehearsing and kvetching about their parts, anti-Semitism begins to rear its head in their little village. Arnold the barber is the first to understand it. The director, for all his harping about the play's relevancy, is slow to understand the real threats to his own well-being...
