Based on the short story by beloved Southern writer Eudora Welty, THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM transports the audience to the Natchez Trace in Mississippi, a dangerous and mysterious corner of the country teeming with a rogue's gallery of the most beguiling con men, hucksters, and charlatans you'll ever meet.

When he falls for the beautiful daughter of a wealthy planter, his world and code of ethics are turned upside down.
