Blood Relations
By Sharon Pollack
Driftwood Players is the Sunshine Coast’s longest standing community theatre
company.
We are currently preparing for a March/April 2024 production of Sharon Pollack’s
chilling drama, Blood Relations, to be performed at Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons,
Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre, and Madeira Park Community Hall.
Synopsis:
On a hot muggy day in 1892 in Fall River, an unknown person took an axe and gave a number of whacks to Andrew Borden and his wife Abigail. Andrew's youngest daughter Lizzie was acquitted of the double murder but acquittal did nothing to dispel suspicions.
Did she? Or didn't she? The question still reverberates.
The play begins 10 years later, in 1902. While sister Emma sulks upstairs, Miss Lizzie entertains an actress friend from Boston, Nance O Neill, who playfully teases, tempts, goads, and challenges Miss Lizzie to reveal her guilt or innocence. Miss Lizzie dances around a direct answer but suggests a game, a play-within-the-play, in which the Actress will play Lizzie. Meanwhile, Miss Lizzie will play Bridget the maid who was with Lizzie in the house on the day the Bordens died. The game generates the entrance of other characters who played a pivotal role in the murders and trial. What begins as a game directed by Miss Lizzie gains momentum. As Nance gains control of the game and the story, a murderer is revealed, but the question remains “Oh Lizzie, you didn't - did you?"
