The dictionary's not for burning

We've been working very hard over the past week to clean up our little production. With this show, more than most, we've been very careful to get every line word for word. The real star of the show is the language itself. While written in the twentieth century, the play is set in the 1400s. The author, Christopher Fry, went out of his way to dig up wonderful words from the past. Most modern dictionaries have long forgotten their meaning, but with a little research, we were able to give figure out what exactly we were saying. Here are a few of the words i find most enjoyable to say.

Keith Oberfield calls The Lady's Not For Burning "the best Shakespeare play not written by Shakespeare." (But don't worry; it's no where as difficult to follow as the Bard can sometimes be.) We are anxious to get the chance to perform in front of an audience to share the words i've listed and so many more.
