The Lady's Not for Burning by Christopher Fry

5.0

This was suggested to me by my acting teacher for a monologue and I am so glad she lent it to me. Not only did I get a fantastic monologue out of it, but I loved the whole play. Nicholas had me cracking up with his "murder" of his brother. Thomas, who has decided he MUST be hanged and persistently petitions the judge throughout the play to hang him, is wonderful. Very odd, very poetic, very set on dying, but oh so wonderful. Jennet, who is accused of being a witch, comes in laughing at the absurdness of it all, so of course I was absolutely smitten.
I fairly nearly hugged this playbook at the end (it was falling apart, so I didn't).
