Bury The Hatchet

A hit show from the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival! Andrew Borden and his wife Abby are found dead in Fall River, Massachusetts, in August 1892. Their daughter Lizzie is the main suspect. Tried but acquitted of the crime, the story goes that she wielded the axe that killed them. Overnight, she becomes America's original “mad, bad and dangerous to know” icon. Set to bluegrass music and murder ballads, this irreverently presented, knee-slapping ensemble show fuses gallows humour and vaudevillian horror. Running time: 1 hour 10 minutes, with no intermission. Content warning: occasional strong language, depictions of violence, mature themes and subject matter.
