Director’s notes:
““What excites me most about this show is the passion that drives the story” says director, Ryan Nunez. “Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were underdogs, driven to extremes by extreme circumstances. I think they captured the public’s attention not only because of their youth and beauty, but because of the depth of their passion for each other. It’s a love story like no other. It blurs the lines between right and wrong and fame and destruction. I think Vancouver is ready for this dark tale.”
