Theatre Wellesley presents an award-winning Canadian playwright Sharon Pollock’s “Blood Relations” . Opening in 1902, with Lizzie entertaining a visit from a prominent Boston actress who uses their special friendship to convince Lizzie to tell her the story of what might have happened that fateful day. What unfolds is not so much a possible recounting of a murder as it is an exposé of the expectations, constraints and burdens placed on women in 19th century Bostonian society and the life that Lizzie lashed out at to escape.**Warning: Strong language and violence.
