"Playwright Christopher Fry's 1949 comedy The Lady's Not for Burning was quite popular when it first premiered; it even won the New York Drama Critic's Circle award for Bet Foreign Play. While it's not performed that regularly today, Fry's witty dialogue and collection of charming characters makes for a fun and amusing comedy. Grand Canyon University's production features a talented cast of actors, sure-footed direction, and sublime creative elements....Morgan Sia is appropriately brooding as Thomas Mendip, while Sophia Jestice is quite moving as Jennett. Sia's delivery of Fry's witty dialogue is perfect and Jestice creates an endearing, elegant woman who seems to be the only sane person in town...Grand Canyon University's production of this rarely seen romantic comedy is funny, entertaining, and very worthwhile."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
