Bonnie & Clyde at St. Dunstan's Theatre

PERFORMANCE DATES: Sept. 27, 28, 29*, Oct. 4, 5, 6*, 11, 12, 13* . (*2 pm matinee)In Depression-era Texas, a young waitress and aspiring actress, Bonnie Parker, falls in love with Clyde Barrow, a car-loving small-time crook who just wants to crawl out from under the crushing poverty he's known his whole life. Clyde and his brother Buck, in and out of jail for years, become known as "the Barrow Gang" as their crimes grow in notoriety. Bonnie joins up with them, and when their crimes escalate from robbery to murder, the two young lovers go on the run, make national headlines as they top the Public Enemies list, and ultimately meet their death.While there are plenty of hold-ups and shootouts in this tale, the sexy love story between Bonnie and Clyde is at the heart of this musical, set to gospel, blues and rockabilly. The ensemble numbers explain the circumstances that drove them to their criminal acts, and images from their real lives are projected onto the set.
