New costume set now available for the 2024 / 2025 season.
Bring the grit, glamour and danger of Bonnie and Clyde to life with our full-show costume hire from Thespis Theatrical Costumiers.
Set in the heart of the Great Depression, this complete wardrobe package captures the distinctive 1930s styling, from sharp suits and elegant dresses to authentic period detail that defines this iconic story.
We specialise exclusively in full-show costume hire, ensuring complete consistency across your production. Every principal and ensemble role is carefully considered, with costumes designed to work together visually on stage.
All costumes include appropriate footwear, hats and accessories, supplied ready for performance.
A complete costume package ensures visual consistency, saves valuable preparation time, is often more cost-effective, and delivers a much stronger, more professional impact on stage than sourcing individual items from multiple suppliers.
Set during America’s Great Depression, Bonnie and Clyde tells the electrifying story of two young lovers who become infamous outlaws.
As their ambition, passion and desire for fame collide with the harsh realities of crime, the story unfolds with intensity, romance and tragedy, set against a backdrop of economic hardship and lawlessness.
Bonnie Parker – elegant yet bold 1930s styling with iconic berets and tailored dresses
Clyde Barrow – sharp suits and vintage hats reflecting his outlaw charisma
Blanche Barrow – refined yet practical period styling
Buck Barrow – rugged, character-driven 1930s attire
Ensemble – a strong mix of law enforcement uniforms and authentic Depression-era civilian costumes
• Bank robbery and outlaw sequences with strong period styling
