"The Fair Gospeller" is a historical drama portraying the life of Anne Askew, a bold Lincolnshire woman who defied 16th-century England's religious conventions. It traces Anne's evolution from a naive youth to a steadfast martyr.

Anne, an avid Bible reader, begins to question the Catholic Church's doctrines, engaging in daring acts like reading the Bible in Lincoln Cathedral, illegal for women then, and contesting church teachings. Her interactions with figures like Queen Catherine Parr shape her push for religious freedom and women's rights, ultimately leading to her arrest, torture, and fiery execution.

The play not only highlights Anne's significant role in the English Reformation but also serves as a reflection on women's historical struggles for equality and justice.
