Story for The Robber Bridegroom

Wildly creative and deliciously entertaining, Roundabout brings the rarely seen theatrical gem The Robber Bridegroom back to the New York stage—in a stripped-down production filled with inventive staging, raucous comic performances and an irresistibly catchy bluegrass score.

Tony-nominated director Alex Timbers (Peter and the Starcatcher, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) brings his incomparable imagination to this boisterous, sexy romp through 18th-century Mississippi by Tony, Oscar, and Pulitzer Prize winner Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy, The Last Night of Ballyhoo) with music by Robert Walkman (The Rivals, Dinner at Eight).

Based on the short story by beloved writer Eudora Welty, The Robber Bridegroom is a Southern-fried Robin Hood tale featuring Jamie Lockhart (Steven Pasquale), a dangerous, handsome, backwoods rogue who's a gentleman by day and bandit by night. When he falls for the beautiful daughter of a wealthy planter, his world and code of ethics are turned upside down.

An irreverent, playful, and at times raunchy tribute to the con men, hucksters and charlatans that created our great nation, this hilarious tale is sure to steal your heart—and whatever else it can get its hands on. A truly thrilling celebration of American myth-making, The Robber Bridegroom is a fun, sexy, jubilant hoedown: the best party in town.
