Lizzie Borden: Historical Murder Mystery Explored in Psychological Drama Blood Relations
Raven Playhouse (North Hollywood, CA)
Lizzie Borden, one of the most infamous figures in American history, comes to the stage in the innovative drama Blood Relations. Written by Sharon Pollock, one of Canada’s premier playwrights, this psychological murder mystery delves into the facts and speculation surrounding the unsolved 1892 double murder of Andrew and Abby Borden, for which daughter Lizzie was tried and acquitted — but not before becoming the country’s first tabloid celebrity. This dreamlike play within a play takes place 10 years after the trail, as Lizzie and her actress friend reenact the various roles from the night of the murders, and the truth of that night begins to come into focus.
