"Lizzie Borden took an ax
and gave her mother forty whacks..."
... or did she?
The infamous crime remains unsolved.
- Now -
Lizzie Borden at eight o'clock
promises to reveal everything.

Over 100 years have passed, but Lizzie Borden continues to haunt the imagination. Did she or did she not commit the brutal murders of 1892?

The riveting one-woman show starring Ellen Barry.

All proceeds from this return engagement will benefit the WorkShop Theater Company.

Reviews & Press:

This is a nuanced, quietly captivating production and its whole strength rests on the capable shoulders of Ellen Barry.

Ellen Barry's Lizzie is at once a sympathetic figure and a cold, unhinged woman who does seem capable of murder—and who reminds us of what we in turn might be capable of...Mitch Giannunzio’s script is a nuanced work and Barry uses it with great focus...Barry paints a complex portrait in deft strokes...
