ABOUT THE PLAY

"Lizzie Borden took an axe,
gave her mother forty whacks,
when the job was nicely done,
she gave her father forty-one"

BACKGROUND

TheatreFusion's first production was the Scottish Premiere of this chilling play, which looks at the story of the infamous axe-murderess Lizzie Borden.  

But was she really guilty?
