THE LADY'S NOT FOR BURNING
" The Lady's Not For Burning" is a comedy written by Christopher Fry. The poetic comedy is about two young people who fall in
love. One is a discharged soldier who is tired ofliving and the other a
beautiful young girl who is charged with witchcraft in a small town.
Mary Gillhouse starred in the production, portraying the ingenue
charged of witchcraft, her performance was outstanding as she put
her whole self into the part, which let the Shakespearean blank verse
flow easily. Pat Weise played opposite her, and his performance was
hampered by a accident early the week of the production, in which
he tore ligament in his knee. Despite all the discomfort, Weise put on
a fine performance.
Larry Wood, portraying the Mayor was the definite comedy release. The Mayor was totally confused and wished things would go
on free of any trouble. Aiding in adding some comedy to the show
was Nicholas, played by Jim Seward, who was desparately in love
with his brother's betrothed.
Because of the manner in which the play was written, blank verse,
the only problem in it was a difficulty in timing.
Jennet (Mary Gillhouse) shows us a little of her so-called witchcraft.
Stage Crew: Essie Wright, Tony Ghrist, Terri Thomas and Mark Kuehnle.
