Defending Lizzie by Karen Poulsen – A movie with new insights on the life of Lizzie Borden, her family, friends and Fall River in 1892.
Description
The case of Lizzie Borden has fascinated the American public for over a century. To this day, experts in law and history still disagree about what actually happened on that hot August morning in 1892 when her father and stepmother were found axed to death in their Massachusetts home.
Karen Poulsen takes a fresh look at Lizzie’s life in a new screenplay, based on the stage play with the same title of “Defending Lizzie.” This story is told historically accurate with approximately 25% artistic license taken. The screenplay expands the fourth dimension of the stage with additional scenes, characters and locations.
Plot Outline
Lizzie’s diary is discovered in 1922 revealing an inside look at the Borden household in the years preceding the murders. Strange incidents occur, beginning with a theft in broad daylight, suspicions of poison and threats against Lizzie’s father. The suspense continues up to the end.
