City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1Dfy79h The Alumnae Theatre's MainStage brings the past to life with Sharon Pollock's Governor General's award winning psychological murder mystery Blood Relations. The only suspect, the real Lizzie Borden, was acquitted of murdering her father and stepmother, but in Blood Relations, the chilling question still repeats. “Did you Lizzie? Did you?” Rather than centering on the grisly details of the murders, the play focuses on the patriarchal oppressive society Lizzie Borden has endured. Lizzie and her actress friend play a game of memory and imagination, reenacting moments of Lizzie's life leading up to the murders as a play-in-a-play to uncover a motive.
