Bonnie & Clyde, Kings Theatre, Glasgow, April 17 2024 ***

THE story of Bonnie and Clyde is the stuff of legend, with murders galore and their inevitable end in a hail of bullets.The opening, as the scene was set, was dull to the extent of being soporific but it was a slow burner and gathered in momentum as it proceeded.

All the leads were convincing but former Corrie girl Catherine Tyldesley as Blanche, the wife of Clyde’s brother, was the biggest revelation. Other big plot holes surrounded the sudden rise to fame and popularity of the duo who were besieged for autographs despite their notoriety. However, the projection mapping was a triumph - with the prison murder in particular very powerful - and the Depression style lighting a perfect mood-setter.His use of two scenes running simultaneously on stage was a joy.
