Even Unto Death Presented by Arizona Theatre Matters: A Staged Reading by Jeanmarie Simpson

Join Arizona Theatre Matters for a powerful staged reading of Even Unto Death, a new play by acclaimed playwright Jeanmarie Simpson.

Set in the aftermath of Joan of Arc’s execution, the play offers an intimate portrait of grief, resilience, and maternal love. At its heart is Isabelle Romée, Joan’s mother, navigating her daily life in the shadow of profound loss. As memory and mourning intertwine, Isabelle’s quiet acts of care and remembrance become a form of resistance—and a path toward justice.

This inclusive performance features both voice actors and Artistic Sign Language interpreters, ensuring accessibility is integrated into the storytelling. The 90-minute reading will be followed by a post-show discussion with the creative team, offering the audience a chance to share feedback that will help shape a future recorded version for ATM’s YouTube channel.

Don't miss this moving exploration of legacy, justice, and the enduring power of a mother’s love.
