Based on Henry Fieldings bawdy 18th century novel, Bastard Jones is a rollicking adventure of deception, misunderstanding and bed-hopping. With book, lyrics, and direction by Marc Acito (Allegiance , Chasing Rainbows) and music by Amy Engelhardt, Bastard Jones centers on Tom Jones, a charming bastard-born himbo with a heart of gold and a knack for trouble. Toms expression of his natural self gets him banished from the only home he knows, leading him to conscription in the army, a half-naked romp at a country inn and a stint as the boy-toy to an aristocrat whose machinations make Dangerous Liaisons look like childs play. Because Bastard Jones is about young people being banished simply for being themselves, 100% of the productions profits will benefit Cyndi Laupers True Colors Fund.
