The Lady's Not For Burning - LTCT Production
The Lady's Not For Burning, by Jean Anouilh & Christopher Fry
'The Lady's Not For Burning' is a romantic costume comedy set in England
in the Spring of 1400, or there abouts. Written in verse it was first performed
in 1949. The review of opening night described the playwright as precocious
with "a touch of genius,". After it ran on Broadway in 1951 it received the
New York Drama Critics Circle award as Best Foreign Play of 1950-51 and
it has been revived in London twice in the 21st century. There have been at
least three TV adaptations; 1958, 1974 and 1987.The play centres around the meeting of cynical Thomas Mendip, a man so
bitter that he wishes himself hanged, and Jennet Jourdemayne, a young and
beautiful girl accused of witchcraft. Thomas's insistence that he be hanged
falls on deaf ears, while Jennet's protestations of innocence serve only to
incriminate her. Independently both characters turn to Mayor Hebble for
understanding and assistance, but are met with only evasion and willing
incomprehension. The Mayor's family members, clerks and officials gather
for an impending wedding and seem to be stuck with the dilemma of two
uninvited people—who may or may not be hanged in the morning.October 12-15 & 19-21
