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. Winner of Off West End “Best Ensemble” Award, Out Of The Forest Theatre are back."
