16-25 July

The Lady’s Not For Burning will entrance you with its sparkling humour, witty wordplay, satisfying love stories and occasional excoriations of the follies of humankind.

• Will world weary discharged soldier Thomas Mendip achieve his desire for death by hanging?

• Who will sweet young convent-raised Alizon Eliot marry, the stuffy older brother or the impetuous younger one? Or neither?

• Will the Mayor and the Justice of the small market town of Cool Clary really give in to the mob and burn as a witch the vivacious and spirited Jennet Jourdemayne in the morning?

The Lady’s Not For Burning, set in “1400 either more or less or exactly”, is one of Christopher Fry’s most well-known works. First performed in 1948, its life-affirming post-war optimism was an instant success with audiences and critics alike. Today its humour and delightful story-telling are just as enjoyably satisfying as they were then.

EFTPOS or cash?

EFTPOS purchases (tickets or refreshments) at the venue are possible but, because internet service is somewhat unreliable in our Cashmere Avenue dead spot, you may find it less frustrating if you bring cash.
