I didn't expect to be able to describe a play about Lizzie Borden as "tender," but that's absolutely the first word that comes to mind when I think of this play, which is about the Fall River murderess AFTER her most notorious act. The piece moves deftly through time, from past to present, using theatrical doubling to beautiful (and sometimes horrific) effect. The script also leaves room for plenty of memorable stage pictures, as well as opportunities for dynamic design. Theatrical and intense!
