‘Blood Relations’: Was Lizzie Borden pushed over the edge?
Bare Stage Theatre produced the play “Blood Relations” by Sharon Pollock on October 24, 25 and 26. Directed by Roxanne Rosenblatt, the subject of the play is the well-known story of Lizzie Borden.
In 1892, she was accused (and later acquitted) of killing her father and stepmother with an axe. No other person was ever held accountable for the crimes and speculation haunted Lizzie throughout her lifetime, and continues to this day.
