Proto-type Theater | Third Person: Bonnie & Clyde Redux
Friday 26 November, 7.30pm
During the great depression, young lovers Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow went on an infamous three-year spree of bank robbery and murder, which ended abruptly in 1934 when they were ambushed and killed by police in Louisiana.
Nobody knows all the details, but their violent love story has become legend worldwide.
As they illustrate, control and sometimes miscommunicate the story, the performers veer between the emotional, the factual and the fantastical as they pick-apart the particulars of this strange love affair. Through evidence, personal stories, rumours,
re-enactments, video and drawings, the electric meeting of Bonnie & Clyde is retold, exploring the motivations that drive our fascination with the life and death of these notorious lovers.
"It's exciting and visually stimulating, with the attention to detail I have come to expect from Proto-type, and yet is a departure from their more grand work. You really get to know both the performers on stage and the real people that they almost embody." Audience Member
