| Description: | Lizzie Borden was accused of the vicious ax murders of her father and stepmother. Did she do it? The audience must decide. The actors portray characters from the Borden trial. The audience hears the actual closing statements made by the attorneys at the original trial. Then the audience has a chance to question Lizzie, her attorneys and her maid. Then the vote is taken. Will Miss Lizzie be found innocent once again? Following the show, the interogation of the witnesses and attorneys, and the vote, audience members will get a chance to talk to actors, author and director about what actually happened to Miss Lizzie following her trial. |
