We’re recoloring Bonnie Parker’s history for a contemporary audience and dramatizing her life, in the context of her times.
A petite, but powerful, intelligent, artistic and rebellious young woman, Bonnie grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in the slums of Dallas, during America’s Great Depression.
After marrying badly as a 15-year-old, she was determined to make a better life for herself, even if that meant a life of crime, on-the-run, with the love of her life.
Today, Bonnie Parker’s creativity would have found
another way out. She might be a celebrity influencer, or a Kardashian-like reality show character. But in 1934 her way out of the ghetto to excitement and fame was a life of crime.
Now, for the very first time, BONNIE rewrites her story, from a woman’s point of view, for today’s audience of women and men, who have a keen appreciation of complex, multi-layered and ultimately STRONG women heroes.
