Parenthesis Announces Cast Change For THE LADY’S NOT FOR BURNING

By: Gabrielle Sierra Apr. 22, 2011

Parenthesis announces a cast change for their upcoming revival of Christopher Fry's 1950 Broadway hit THE LADY'S NOT FOR BURNING.

Isaac Woofter (Romeo and Juliet at The Guthrie) joins the cast as the world-weary soldier Thomas. He replaces the previously announced Todd Lawson.

The remaining cast features Anna Olivia Moore (365 Days/365 Plays at the Public) as the witch. Rob Skolits (Red State/Blue Stateat EST) plays the town drunk and the chaplain. Nick Fesetteis the young clerk, with Gwen Ellis playing the beautiful virgin. The malevolent judge is played by Jefferson Slinkard (Mamma Mia in Las Vegas) and Danny Makali'i Mittermeyer plays the allergic mayor. Rounding out the cast is Jean Tafler as Margaret, Matthew Baldigaas Humphrey and JarEd Thompson as Nicholas.

A charismatic soldier bursts through the mayor's window demanding to be hanged. An eccentric "witch" flees a homicidal mob threatening bloody revolution. A beautiful virgin has the town's young men trying to kill each other. And an allergic mayor wants nothing more than to be fully occupied elsewhere. It's been a rough day for these righteous town-folk, who collide on the eve of both a wedding and a witch burning. THE LADY'S NOT FOR BURNINGis a darkly comic and compelling debate on the merits of life and death, hope and despair.

THE LADY'S NOT FOR BURNING, written by Christopher Fry and directed by Bryan Close, begins performances on Saturday, May 21 for a limited engagement through Saturday, June 11. Press Opening is Wednesday, May 25 at 8 PM. Performances are at Walkerspace (46 Walker Street, Between Broadway and Church. Via subway take the A, C, E, N, R, 4, 6 to Canal or the 1, 2, to Franklin).
