Tableau d'hôte produced Jehanne of the Witches at Geordie Theatre in October of 2007. Geordie Theatre, located in Montreal, is described as having a "chic squalor" which adds an "instant cachet" to the production.
In a review by the Gazette (Montreal), the show is said "Things don't fall apart until the actors step out of their 100 Year War roles to club the audience back into the post-modern present. Confused? So were we as Clark's play grows more and more incomprehensible, twisting and turning to tie up the loose ends of what are suddenly two stories of youth betrayed by the world's perfidy. Alexandra West's direction, so assured before the break, fails to make much sense out of Clark's second act meanderings."
The show was directed by Alexandra West and designed by Isabella Geddes. Christina Manolescu of Invisible Cities Network said "We are treated by Isabella Geddes to a mini-miracle of stage décor—an air of magnificence conjured out of little or nothing. Arranged in intriguing layers in front of a back-lit ‘shadow box,’ stunning impact is created from an arrangement of huge knotted cords, painted panels, a few selected props."
