Synopsis

In the heat of late summer 1892, Andrew Borden and his wife were found murdered in their house. The main suspect in the murders was Andrew’s youngest daughter from a previous marriage, Lizzie Borden. Using a searing rock score, and based on the historical record, Lizzie explores the heady and heated days leading up to the murder and Lizzie’s controversial acquittal of all charges and the creation of a new American myth.

Trigger Warnings: Lizzie contains themes of childhood sexual abuse and violence and may not be appropriate for all audiences. Discretion is advised. Strobe and fog special fx are used during the performance.
