Venice Theatre stages Lizzie Borden play exploring moral ambiguity
Original: Shades of gray permeate Venice Theatre's Lizzie Borden play
Venice Theatre is presenting a play about Lizzie Borden, the Fall River woman tried and acquitted in the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother. The production is framed around moral ambiguity, with the story presented in shades of gray rather than a simple verdict of guilt or innocence. Coverage highlights the theatre's choice to embrace the case's enduring uncertainty on stage.
Why now: The theatre's production of the famous unsolved Lizzie Borden case is drawing local attention for its morally nuanced treatment.
