Lizzie Borden, performed by Leslie Goddard

Award-winning actress Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., performs as Lizzie Borden, accused of the brutal hatchet murder of her father and stepmother in 1892. Lizzie’s story comes alive as she talks about her life growing up in Fall River, Massachusetts, her estrangement from her stepmother, and her troubled relationship with her father. Was Lizzie a desperate and unsettled daughter who resorted to murder . . . Or an innocent woman who could never escape the trauma that destroyed her life?


This recent and incredible performance with great audience questions was recorded and is available for viewing until Monday Oct 25, 2021.
