The Lady's Not for Burning at Worldstage Theatre & Co

Christopher Fry's The Lady's Not for Burning will have new life, coming to the Hollywood Fringe Festival this June. As re-imagined by Worldstage Theater & Co's artistic director, Jenny Leonhardt, the play will straddle the millenia from the Middle Ages to a cross between a thriving European wartime railway station and a post-Covid world, with a steampunk vibe. The production will feature Juliet Tondowski as the titular Lady, Jennet Jourdemayne.

The production meanwhile is true to the beauty of Fry's language, known for its wry characterizations and graceful language. A generally lighthearted play, it is a family-friendly affair complete with sardonic comedy under laid with the usual Fry-themes: life and death and everything in between. Surprisingly contemporary for a play written in the 1940s, it's a romantic verse comedy in three brief acts, about a war-weary soldier who wants to die and an accused witch who wants to live.
