21 YEARS LATER,
IS LIZZIE BORDEN COMING CLEAN?
In "Miss Lizzie A. Borden Invites You To Tea" by Marjorie Conn, Lizzie is an aging, lonely spinster in 1913. Twenty one years after the murders of her parents, the notoriety of her trial has waned and her status as 'social celebrity' has faded. She's been forgotten by all but a handful of hungry local journalists, and a bitter, taunting few. In this one-woman tour-de-force, starring Karen Asconi and directed by Frank Avellino, we witness Lizzie's powerful lust for freedom and learn how such a yearning can drive one to acts of unimaginable desperation.
Boz and the Bard Productions, Inc. is proud to bring this revival of our critically acclaimed production of "Miss Lizzie A. Borden Invites You To Tea" to the Fair Lawn Community Center for a special, co-sponsored, limited engagement. Ms. Asconi's "...fascinating, high-strung performance... under Frank Avellino's taut direction...is a worthwhile experience," claimed Peter Filichia, of The Star Ledger.
