Seberg tops world stage rise as Saint Joan marks start
In a brisk portrait from New York theater page, 18 year old Jean Seberg rides a meteoric ascent after winning a national contest to play Joan of Arc in a Bernard Shaw film. She admits the shift is relentless and demands constant effort, learning from rush prints and vowing to stay grounded as Broadway's Tennessee Williams notes tougher times and deeper audience expectations. Williams says Orpheus Descending evolved from years of work, aiming to touch audiences with a tender, lyrical new energy ahead of Hotel Paradise bow starring Bert Lahr on Broadway.
