Anvil Theatre PresentsBury the Hatchet
An Out of the Forest Theatre production
Andrew Borden and his wife Abby are found dead in Fall River, Massachusetts, August 1892. Their daughter Lizzie is the main suspect. Tried but acquitted of the crime, the story goes that she wielded the axe that killed them. Overnight, she becomes America’s original “mad, bad and dangerous to know” icon.
Set to bluegrass music and murder ballads, Bury The Hatchet fuses gallows humour with vaudevillian horror to re-examine one of history’s most infamous murder cases.
Out Of The Forest Theatre is a UK based, multi-award-winning ensemble-based company. They take misremembered or forgotten stories from history, set them to folk music, and use them as a lens to better understand today. Irreverently presented, knee slapping, historical theatre with a modern revisionist twist.
The 2026/2027 Anvil Theatre Presents series features award-winning artists from near and far. Innovative. Captivating. Awe-inspiring. This season, discover something new…something classic…something for everyone. The Anvil Theatre is the place to be.
