A suite of monologues for 7 women. A mysterious Presenter introduces the stories of six historical women: - Laura Fair killed her married lover in San Francisco in 1870. - Margaret Hossack killed her abusive husband in Warren County, Iowa, in 1900. - Celia Bryan killed her father, who was also her owner, in Jacksonville in 1848. - Jane Toppan killed at least eleven patients before she was caught in 1901. - Belle Gunness killed upwards of thirteen people in Indiana between 1903 and 1908. - And of course, in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892, Lizzie Borden took an axe... The Presenter gives each of them a score based on her own rather curious criteria, revealing, in the end, why it is that their stories fascinate her so.
