Lizzie Borden of Fall River

written by Tim Kelly

Directed by Toby Allman

The Lizzie Borden case is without parallel in the criminal history of America, and it divided public opinion as no murder trial had ever done. Did the strong-willed, intelligent Lizzie dispatch her father and stepmother with an axe one fateful August morning, or was she the innocent victim of circumstance? The setting of the play is the Borden residence in Fall River, Massachusetts. The fascinating cast of characters are each involved, in some way, with the tragedy. All along the way, the audience is gripped by suspense as clues fall in and out of place. Why was the evidence that would help prove Lizzie innocent withheld? Who is lying and who is telling the truth? Why do so many rush to her defense and so many others want her punished? It's a drama, mystery, suspense-thriller that will keep the audience guessing right up to the final scene.
