LIZZIE BORDEN RADIO BROADCAST
Have you ever heard the theactrical audio version that was broadcast on WOR in New York 24 years ago? I have never forgot it. It puts a new twist on her guilt. Awesome! There is a copy at auction currently on ebay, reference # 3977686970 that I highly recommend. You will never again see her as the KILLER!

BINGO! but I am truley a Lizzie fan who is not going to get rich on $10 bucks, & I know the buyer will totally love & appreciate the effort I have put into this. We all have a craving for new material that inspires the mind on this topic, do we not? Do not pass hasty judgement as did the good people of Fall River in 1892. There is always at least two sides to every story.

I wonder if a few people got together and did a "reanactment" on their own...stylized and fitting for their own theory. Recorded right on to a CD with the 'puter's microphone. Like Mickey said to Judy: "Hey kids! Let's put on a show!." except it was: "Hey dude! Let's sell it on eBay!" ;)
I have all the radio broadcasts of the Lizzie radio plays as well as The Trial of Lizzie Borden - A radio reconstruction of a world famous murder case and three radio thrrillers by Donald Henderson (forward by Harold Hobson), published by Hurst & Blackett, LTD, London, New York, Melbourne & Sydney. The Lizzie Borden story was first broadcast July 16, 1945 with Beatrix Lehman as Lizzie.
The really interesting thing is on the cast listing page, on the bottom of the page, is this notation: "Acknowlddgements are due to the British Broadcasting Corporation for the opportunity of publishing this radio thriller; and to Messrs. William Heinemann, Ltd., for the loan of their publication The Tria?l of Lizzie Borden by Hesketh Pearson. " Hesketh. Should be Edmund. But it's a wonderful radio play and true to the case. Much of the dialog taken from Pearson's Trial Essay. It is the first broadcast in the book and takes up half the book, the other 3 all being fictional murder plays.

I notice the term "Radio Thriller" is used. For all our fascination with the case and its history I find it really hard to describe the murders and especially the Trial as anything but thrilling.
The thing that strikes one about the murders and their discovery is the matter-of-fact ness and complete lack of panic of the people at the scene. A grisly murder has taken place with a second soon to be found but yet, within minutes the Borden house is full of all sorts of neighbours, doctors, Police and the downright nosey.
The less said about the dreary trial the better. The only remotely exciting thing being the strange verdict
