Out of the Forest Theatre's Bury The Hatchet

Andrew Borden and his wife Abby are found dead in Fall River, Massachusetts, 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, Bury The Hatchet fuses gallows humour with vaudevillian horror to re-examine one of history's most infamous murder cases. Out Of The Forest Theatre is a UK based, multi-award-winning ensemble-based company. They take misremembered or forgotten stories from history, set them to folk music, and use them as a lens to better understand today. Irreverently presented, knee slapping, historical theatre with a modern revisionist twist. WINNER VAULT Festival 'People's Choice' Award 2018 WINNER Off West End 'Best Ensemble' Award 2018 NOMINATED Broadway World 'Best Musical' Award 2018 ★★★★ 'Part courtroom drama, part folk gig, part historical whodunnit, and it works. It plays with the edges of fact and legend, letting the audience feel complicit in the myth making.' - North West End ★★★★ 'Bury the Hatchet doesn't just tell the tale, it turns it inside out, stitches it back together, and hands you the needle. Genuinely gripping.' - Edinburgh Reviews ★★★★ 'A fast-paced farcical musical romp. This is a fun watch.' - Edinburgh Guide
