Christopher Fry's brilliant play. Have you seen it? I've only seen it on the small screen: from PBS in the 70s, and the BBC just now, with Kenneth Branagh, from the 80s.
The Lady's Not for Burning is a 1948 play by Christopher Fry[1]
A romantic comedy in three acts, in verse, it is set in the Middle Ages. It reflects the world's "exhaustion and despair" following World War II, with a war-weary soldier who wants to die, and an accused witch who wants to live.[2] In form, it resembles "Shakespeare's pastoral comedies."[3]

F'in brilliant. IMO, one of the best plays from the 20th Century. (Musicals don't count: I mean plays where people speak, not sing.)

There have been at least three TV adaptations: 1958 (Omnibus, S06E29), with Christopher Plummer and Mary Ure; 1974, with Richard Chamberlain and Eileen Atkins; 1987, with Kenneth Branagh and Cherie Lunghi.
