Halloween Night at the Highlands Inn!
Saturday, October 31 at 7 PM
On a dark and (possibly) stormy night, award-winning lesbian-feminist playwright and actor Carolyn Gage will perform her one-woman show, Lace Curtain Irish on Halloween night! Thirty-five years after the infamous Fall River ax murders, an Irish woman, working in her kitchen in Anaconda, Montana, opens a newspaper to read about the death of the alleged murderer, Lizzie Borden. The woman is Bridget Sullivan, the Borden's former maid. A gripping solo one-act that turns history on its head! (Lesbian herstory has a way of doing that...)
The evening will conclude with a talk-back by the playwright/performer about the Fall River murders and about Lizzie Borden's social justice activism and lesbian relationship with the actress Nance O'Neill.
