Joan of Arc Uses They/Them Pronouns in New Globe Theater Show in London | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Globe Theater in London is opening a show called "I, Joan," a rendition of the story of Joan of Arc, with the title character using the pronouns "they/them." The theater explained the choice to use those pronouns, saying "Shakespeare was not afraid of discomfort, and neither is the Globe. History has provided countless and wonderful examples of Joan portrayed as a woman. This production is simply offering the possibility of another point of view. That is the role of theatre: to simply ask the question 'imagine if?'." DC Correspondent at the Daily Wire, Mary Margaret Olohan, joins to share how Joan of Arc being portrayed as a character that does not identify as a woman impacts the story being told. But first, she talks about her thoughts on the Atlantic article linking the rosary to violence and extremism, as well as how the headline and image were changed to soften the article's message. Back to the play, Olohan discusses whether she believes that some of the qualities that make Joan of Arc such a strong woman in history will be lost when the story is told from this different perspective. She fills us in on what else she is following. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
