Lizzie Borden Meets The Hurricane

hotnews_e0

On Tuesday, June 16, actress and playwright Jill Dalton and director Jack McCullough will appear on WSAR radio to talk about their work on Lizzie Borden Live and their successful efforts to bring the show to Fall River.

Jill wrote and stars in the play and has developed a special affinity with Lizzie Borden, an historical “character” that she felt compelled to write about. With Fall River native Jack McCullough’s directorial vision, the show has evolved into a phenomenal production of Lizzie’s later life, after sister Emma has left her.

I have been invited to be on the radio as well, in the half hour before the team speaks about the show, discussing the history of the case and the fascination that Lizzie inspires worldwide.

Mike Herron (“The Hurricane”) will be conducting the interviews on his Hurricane’s Highway Home show.

There is a listen live link on the radio station’s site. My browser does not recognize it as a working media button, but I use a mac. Perhaps your computers, if a PC, will have better luck. Listen in! The radio show starts at 3:30 p.m.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
