Set against a background of superstition, alchemy, and hysterical witch-hunting, Christopher Fry’s deliciously clever satire, THE LADY’S NOT FOR BURNING, recalls the language and feel of Elizabethan theatre, and then reinvents it, infusing it with a very contemporary and knowing humor. The play brings together the cynical Thomas Mendip, a soldier, sick of life and seeking out the gallows, and Jennet Jourdemayne, a young and beautiful woman accused of witchcraft. While Thomas's insistence that he be hanged falls on deaf ears, Jennet's protestations of innocence serve only to incriminate her further. Thrown into the mix for extra measure are a gaggle of some of theatre’s quirkiest and funniest characters and a love story that is as unexpected as it is poignant.
