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

... .. .. ... now for a K

[Anna]

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!

Thank goodness for that. I must say we are getting some gruesome AAs at the moment. Just Kogitating a K

From the time signal to having a child with Johnny
A first from Canterbury

Cali said he's travelling on business, has he nipped off to Gay Paree again to haunt the patisseries?

Wembley. It took just 20 minutes less than the journey to Paris by Eurostar

Back now

The 'infelix ego' thing was awfully good!

O! K...

The "rival families" could indeed have been theatrically topical in recent weeks on R3

Did you get it then, Anna? I must say that setting an AA challenge is getting harder, I almost dread answering now

When I answered for the last Y I first worked out a Z, cross-referencing it, doing Google-checks to ensure it worked.

AA is making me neurotic. Still, I'll soon be in the Outer Hebrides. And it's raining!

There's no such thing as the wrong weather, it's just the wrong clothing. Or so they say....

There's such an obvious answer to that element that it would set off the QI klaxon if I uttered it ... but that doesn't get me to a k... (other than klaxon )

That's Billy Connolly: "no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes..."

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???
