Lizzie Borden Live:  From Page to Stage

Jill Dalton’s Lizzie Borden Live combines historical facts with theatrical license as she portrays one of the most famous women from the annals of America's Victorian past. This is a fascinating look at how the actress took a historic character and adapted her for the stage. Who knows? Lizzie may just make an appearance.

Jill Dalton, writer and performer, is an award winning New York actress with a long list of television and theatre credits. She was commissioned by the East Lynne Theatre Company in Cape May, New Jersey, to write Lizzie Borden Live, where it had a successful five-week run garnering praise and standing ovations from audiences and critics alike. Her performances in the cities of Providence and Fall River have been lauded with equal praise. Ms. Dalton won the 2007 Jacoby Award for her portrayal of Lizzie in Lizzie Borden Live.

The story is set at Maplecroft, thirteen years after the double murder,at the residence Lizzie bought with money inherited from her father. Ms. Dalton wants the audience to decide for themselves if Lizzie was guilty of killing her father and stepmother on August 4, 1892.“Dalton gives a compelling performance enacting the humanity, humor, irony and sadness of a woman who’s had time to reflect on horrific events” Susan Johnson, Red Rock News.

Nov. 4:  Ricardo Rebello, filmmaker
The Myth and Media of Lizzie Borden
