The Trinity Western troupe presents  a “sizzling medieval comedy”: Christopher Fry’s The Lady's not for Burning. Running October 24 – November 3, it is described as a “witty examination of prejudice, superstition and the value of life – [and] a charming romantic comedy.” In late November, TWU will present Lucia Frangione’s “post-modern Old Testament comedy,” Holy Mo and Spew Boy.                twu.ca/theatre
