Are you ready to see a good show and help a charity in the process? The Village Players of the Fort Thomas Woman’s Club have just the ticket for you.
The Village Players of the Fort Thomas Woman’s Club presents Blood Relations, written by Sharon Pollock, directed by Jeff Brown, and produced by Wayne Kirsch.
The play begins ten years after the Fall River murders. On a cool Sunday afternoon in the fall of 1902, an actress from Boston is visiting her friend, the infamous Miss Lizzie Borden. Miss Lizzie has spent the last ten years keeping a low profile since her acquittal of the murder of her father and stepmother.
Miss Lizzie proposes a game in which the actress is to play the role of Lizzie, while the real Miss Lizzie paints the background of her home and family life, as well as taking on the role of the housemaid Bridget O’Sullivan. Miss Lizzie fills the actress’ mind with images to guide her performance, as we witness pivotal moments leading up to the August morning in 1892 when Mr. and Mrs. Borden were found with thirteen and thirty-two axe blows to their heads.
