Bonnie and Clyde brought to life by Newport theatre group
The musical, based on the lives of the infamous couple, tells the story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow and their life of crime across southern Texas amid the Great Depression. The pair earn the fame and notoriety they so desperately crave through their deadly antics. The musical features a score written by Frank Wildhorn and lyrics by Don Black combining blues, gospel and rockabilly music with songs including 'Raise a Lttle Hell ', 'You Love Who You Love' and 'The World Will Remember Us. Founded by local musical stalwart Victoria Bryant and choreographer Emily John, Glass Ceiling Theatre has developed a well-earned reputation as one of Wales' leading musical theatre groups attracting talent from across South Wales from Neath to Abergavenny with some members even travelling from as far as Somerset for the weekly rehearsals. Andre-Paul Spring joins the production team for Bonnie and Clyde as co-director bringing his skills and experience gathered working with other theatre groups, including his own. Glass Ceiling Theatre, which was set up eight years ago, recently celebrated a sell-out run of the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast at Newport's Dolman Theatre. It has also staged shows including Footloose and Legally Blonde. Victoria Bryant, Glass Ceiling Theatre musical director, said: "Bonnie and Clyde is a demanding show in terms of the emotional performance needed throughout the musical, and our cast give their all to ensure this comes across." Nicole Cleaton and Jamie Davis take on the lead roles. Clyde's brother, Buck Barrow, is played by Evan Davies and his hard-suffering wife, Blanche, is played by Jessica Doolan. Bonnie and Clyde is on at Newport's Dolman Theatre from Thursday June 19 to Saturday June 21, 2025. Tickets are available at

Today in History: Bonnie and Clyde fatally shot
Today is Friday, May 23, the 143rd day of 2025. There are 222 days left in the year.

In 1945, Nazi official Heinrich Himmler killed himself while in British custody in Lüneburg, Germany. In 1984, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop issued a report saying there was 'very solid' evidence linking cigarette smoke to lung disease in non-smokers. In 2013, the Boy Scouts of America announced it would remove membership restrictions based on sexual orientation, while maintaining a ban on openly gay Scout leaders. (The ban on gay Scout leaders and organization employees was lifted two years later.) In 2015, supporters of marriage equality in Ireland celebrated as referendum results showed a constitutional amendment in favor of recognizing same-sex marriage passing by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. In 2018, NFL owners approved a new policy allowing players to protest during the national anthem by staying in the locker room but forbidding players from sitting or taking a knee if they're on the field. In 2021, a cable car taking visitors to a mountaintop view of northern Italy's Lake Maggiore plummeted to the ground when a cable snapped, killing 14 people.
