Are you ready to see a good show and help a charity in the process? The Village Players of the Fort Thomas Woman’s Club have just the ticket for you! Read below for more information on our spring production and charity.

The Village Players of the Fort Thomas Woman’s Club proudly presents:

BLOOD RELATIONS
Written by Sharon Pollock

Directed by jef Brown
Produced by Wayne Kirsch

The play begins ten years after the Fall River murders: On a cool Sunday afternoon in the fall of 1902, an actress from Boston is visiting her friend, the infamous Miss Lizzie Borden.  Miss Lizzie has spent the last ten years keeping a low profile since her acquittal of the murder of her father and stepmother.

Miss Lizzie proposes a game in which The Actress is to play the role of Lizzie, while the real Miss Lizzie paints the background of her home and family life, as well as taking on the role of the housemaid Bridget O’Sullivan. Miss Lizzie fills The Actress’ mind with images to guide her performance, as we witness pivotal moments leading up to the August morning in 1892 when Mr. and Mrs. Borden were found with thirteen and thirty-two axe blows to their heads.

Cast: Amy Stier as Miss Lizzie, Jeanette Tacon  as Actress, Jody Hart as Emma, Judy Sceifres as Mrs. Borden, Nathan Henegar as Dr. Patrick, Scott Unes as Harry & Ken Duff as Mr. Borden

It isn’t easy to write an absolutely bloodless drama about the Lizzie Borden case, but that’s what Sharon Pollock has done in “Blood Relations,” her newest play. The play is based on the case of Lizzie Borden. On August 4, 1892, Borden’s father’s body was “discovered” by Lizzie in a downstairs room of the family home. Soon, the Bordens’ maid, Sullivan, discovered the body of Borden’s stepmother. The subsequent investigation and trial of Lizzie set a precedent for media coverage.
