Overview

The Wild Bunch Women were known throughout the Old West as cattle rustlers, stagecoach bandits, and bank robbers... but to Pearl Hart, they were family. Years later, Pearl revisits her time leading the fiery band of female outlaws, and the fateful day they travel to a small Texas town to cross the border and start fresh. But the past is not so easily outrun, and it‘s not long before a group of angry nuns, a local girl with an unlikely connection to the outlaws, and an emissary from Pearl‘s old flame Jesse James close in on the Wild Bunch for one final showdown. Joy, sorrow, and the spirit of the old West fill this poignant play.
