Fall River Fishing is a riotous and kaleidoscopic tour through the story of Lizzie Borden, who “took an axe” and was acquitted of the hatchet murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892. Zuzanna Szadkowski & Deborah Knox’s darkly absurd comedy about what happened that day Lizzie did or didn’t murder her parents is a story about broken Hollywood dreams, unrequited love, self-loathing, generosity, vanity and the mean things that stepmoms say. The play’s irreverent, anarchic humor ultimately grows to encompass Ibsen’s A Doll's House, contemporary Brooklyn, Sharon Tate and the impossibility of ever truly knowing the people we’re closest to, in a contemporary meditation on/war against a disappointing life.

Accessibility

Wheelchair Info
Although the building is unfortunately not ADA-compliant (it was built in the mid-1800s), the theater is on ground level and we have a secondary entrance that is wheelchair accessible (no steps). Look for the easternmost door of the building, with the small sign that says “Theater” over it. This door is usually locked, so you will need to request access from the front of house staff. -
