Bury the hatchet

Lizzie Borden took an axe...

Andrew Borden and his wife Abby are found dead in Fall River, Massachusetts, August 1892. Their daughter Lizzie is the main suspect. Tried but acquitted of the crime, the story goes that she wielded the axe that killed them. Overnight, she becomes America's original 'mad, bad and dangerous to know' icon.

Set to bluegrass music and murder ballads, this irreverently presented, knee-slapping ensemble show fuses gallows humour and vaudevillian horror.

Winners of Off West End Award for Best Ensemble, Out Of The Forest Theatre are back.

”A deliciously clever, atmospheric and self aware show... gripping theatre shot through with bluesy music and psychological acuity.”
