“Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother 40 whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41.” History has definitely put the weapon that dispatched Andrew and Abby Borden in the hands of Andrew’s daughter, even if the courts couldn’t make the case, and so does this wild musical mounted by tuneful theatre company Doctuh Mistuh.
