Lizzie at Théâtre La Comédie de Montréal

In the late summer of 1892, Lizzie Borden was accused, and was acquitted of murdering her father and stepmother.

LIZZIE delves into the mysterious mind of Lizzie Borden and speculates on the motivations she may have had: loss of inheritance, history of sexual abuse, overwhelming oppression ,and madness.

By her side is her older sister Emma, maid Bridget, and neighbor Alice.

Together, the four women create a punk rock score to tell the story of why Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother 40 whacks, and why when she saw what she had done, gave her father 41.
