Westborough – The Delvena Theatre Company will present Lizzie Borden and the 40 Whacks by Fran Baron at the Westborough Public Library, 55 W. Main St., Tuesday, July 14, at 7 p.m. as part of the adult summer reading program.
In the town of Fall River, on a scorching hot day in August 1892, two people were viciously murdered. Spinster Lizzie Borden was accused, tried, and acquitted for the ax murders of her father and stepmother. For more than 100 years, this true unsolved mystery has remained a captivating part of American folklore.
An edutainment production, the show features Lynne Moulton and Joseph Zamparelli, Jr. in multiple roles including a mock trial that invites the audience to participate by questioning Lizzie and deciding her guilt or innocence.
