Synopsis

When a young maiden who has never touched a sword learns she must defend her inheritance in a duel, she struggles with a milksop suitor, a servant girl posing as a Prussian fencing master, the actual Prussian fencing master who believes he is there to marry her, a stodgy lord, and her domineering aunt – the finest blade anywhere - to save her house and lands.

Winner of the 2017/2018 Joining Sword and Pen Competition, the Todd McNerney National Playwriting Award, and the Region IV David Mark Cohen Playwriting Award, The Lady Demands Satisfaction is a classic farce, set in the mid-1700's.
