WAS SHE A COLD-BLOODED KILLER

OR THE VICTIM OF A FAMILY'S  UNRAVELING?

​

BORDEN: A New Musical is a psychological and emotionally gripping reimagining of the infamous Lizzie Borden case. Told through the courtroom testimony of Emma Borden, Lizzie’s older sister, the musical unfolds in a non-linear, memory-play structure, revealing the intricate family dynamics and the fractures that led to the brutal 1892 murders in Fall River.

​

As Emma testifies, she revisits the week leading up to the crimes, the trial that followed, and the sister she once knew—now standing accused. As doubt and devotion war within her, BORDEN explores not just Lizzie’s guilt or innocence, but the price of ambition, the weight of silence, and the desperate need for freedom in a world where women’s stories are too often left untold.
