"Gallows humor with a twist of romance." The Lady's Not for Burning is a 1948 play by Christopher Fry. Our production will be set in the early 20th century in an Appalachian coal-mining community. The rich history of music and folklore in Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia will provide the perfect backdrop for our tale. Special emphasis will be put on the region's Americana, bluegrass and folk music provided by modern musicians keeping these traditions alive.
