Event
A staged reading of Blood Relations
The staged reading of Blood Relations will be a script-in hand performance with some movement. The experienced professional cast will have had a few rehearsals where the emphasis will have been on characterisation and the emotional content of the piece - a recipe for a dynamic, spontaneous and powerful theatrical experience in an intimate space.
In 1892 no one would believe that a well-bred young woman could have committed such a violent and bloody crime. Lizzie Borden was accused, tried and acquitted. Based on these events, Blood Relations is a powerful exploration of the fact and fiction that has become the Lizzie Borden legend. Given a certain set of circumstances, is anybody capable of anything?
Sharon Pollock's award winning play finds Lizzie, years later, in the same family home, entertaining a friend and playing with the endless question Did she, or didn't she?
Blood Relations features Lisa Bowerman (Casualty, Dr Who) - pictured.
