Playing with Fire

Written: 1987

Traverse Theatre

This play is set in 14th century France: its the story of an alchemist and her husband who are trying to find the Philosopher’s Stone.

The alchemist, Justina, sells her soul to the devil, gets the stone in return, and everything she wishes for comes true.

But that can sometimes be a great misfortune...
