The Lady's Not for Burning is a play by Christopher Fry first produced in 1949.Set in the 15th century, the main characters are a man named Thomas and a woman named Jennet. Jennet is accused by superstitious townsfolk of having turned a man into a dog. The town authorities are skeptical, but inclined to go along with it because if she is burned as a witch they will be able to confiscate her property. First, though, they have to get rid of Thomas, who showed up several minutes before the mob to confess to murdering a man — the same man Jennet is supposed to have transmogrified. Hilarity Ensues as Jennet refuses to confess and Thomas refuses to stop confessing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The B-plot revolves around a young woman named Alizon, who is engaged to be married to the mayor's nephew but is the object of the attentions of several other men.The first West End production, which transferred to Broadway the following year, starred John Gielgud as Thomas, Pamela Brown as Jennet, and Claire Bloom and Richard Burton as the young lovers Alizon and Richard. | |
