PLAN AHEAD: Lizzie in a tizzy
If you’re like most people, you probably dread it when you get your juror notice statement in the mail. But here’s one jury you might not mind sitting on.
The Devena Theatre Company will be presenting ‘Lizzie Borden and the 40 Whacks.’ The show will feature Lynne Moulton in multiple roles depicting the story of the infamous Fall River native Lizzie Borden, who was acquitted of the ax murders of her parents in August of 1892. The audience will have the opportunity to participate in the production by way of a mock trial with the ability to question Lizzie, decide if she is innocent or guilty and agree on a sentence if necessary.
Will history repeats itself or will the audience feel differently in 2007? We smell a mistrial.
You can catch this production on Sunday, Sept. 30, at 3 p.m. at the Nahant Public Library, 15 Pleasant St., Nahant. The show is sponsored by the Friends of the Nahant Public Library and is offered free to the public. ‘Lizzie Borden and the 40 Whacks’ is recommended for ages 12 and older. For more information, call 781-581-0306.
