A poignant exploration of the enduring bond between two women, The Lamp and the Bell is a lyrically beautiful drama celebrating sapphic relationships and unwavering love in the face of adversity. 'You are a burning lamp to me, a flame The wind cannot blow out' Set in picturesque medieval Italy, The Lamp and the Bell is a five-act fairy tale drama. Melodramatic, moving, and insightful, this play, written in lyrical verse, centres around Bianca and Beatrice whose deep friendship matures into a profound romance. Their relationship is tested as they navigate the complexities of their personal desires and the societal restrictions of their time. From the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, this play was originally written for a student production at Vassar College, New York, and first published in 1921. Millay's masterful dialogue and rich characterisation bring to life the intimate relationship between Bianca and Beatrice. This early LGBTQ+ play is a thoughtful testament to the courage required to pursue true love and is a timeless exploration of queer identity.
