LIZZIE: THE MUSICAL
By Steven Cheslik-deMeyer, Tim Maner & Alan Stevens Hewitt
Dir: Rose Riordan
4/29-6/29/14
Lizzie Borden: Damaged, twisted. Can turn on a dime from fragile, broken, meek & obedient to conniving, sinister, furious and terrifying. A wounded animal backed into a corner, terrified but enraged. We find her at the moment she realizes she has nothing to lose. Is transformed through an act of unspeakable transgression, turning her own historical infamy into an ascension to legend.
Emma Borden: The older sister, eclipsed by the younger. Must content herself by playing a motherly Lady Macbeth to Lizzie, dripping her own hatreds into Lizzie’s ears over the years, stoking the fires of Lizzie’s rage, disappearing when the deeds must be done, & suffering with guilt afterwards. Is a woman who has come to see that every opportunity for happiness has passed her by. She's furious, but also desperately sad.
Bridget Sullivan (Maggie): The Irish maid. May be a Banshee, called to wail at the Borden’s door. Always seems to know what is going to happen, does things one step before anyone else. She’s put upon, angry, & as resentful of the Borden sisters as she is of the parents. Bridget is the Sex Pistols rock & roll nihilist; ready to fuck things up because she knows that’s the only way anything is ever going to get better.
Alice Russell: The next door neighbor. A luscious pear, the sensuous mother-sister-lover which is sorely lacking in Lizzie’s life. Appears to Lizzie in her greatest moments of need & attempts to lead her away from a path of destruction & toward one of love, truth, & affection. Lizzie may have true feelings of affection for her, or she may be using Alice’s feelings to build an alibi.
A rock-show retelling of the bloody legend of America’s favorite ax-wielding double-murderess & Victorian hometown girl. Lizzie Borden was a MA woman who was acquitted in 1892 of the ax murders of her father & stepmother, & lived the rest of her life as American’s first infamous tabloid star.
