Product Description

Get your students to be gansters in this great play which has been specially adapted for schools from the popular film and it even includes still photographs. So join all the characters: Bugsy, Fat Sam, Tallulah and Dandy Dan for great fun with the whole class. Students will relish this opportunity to play a cast of Prohibition-era mobsters. Fat Sam, who runs one of the most popular speakeasies in town, is in danger of being closed down by his 'business rival' Dandy Dan. Enter baby-faced Bugsy Malone, a killer with the ladies and a definite asset to Fat Sam. Unfortunately, Bugsy has also caught the eye of Sam's girlfriend Tallulah -- though he's set his designs on the showgirl Blousey Brown. This play lends itself perfectly to school performance with its large mixed cast and consistent humour. The book contains a stimulating playscript suitable for classwork and school production, accompanied by resources including background material and lively activities.

A Truly Comprehensive Handbook for a School Production
The Collins published playscript has pretty much everything you need to start preparing for an amateur production. It has a full script with stage directions and song lyrics as one would expect, but also an excellent appendix giving suggestions and advice on producing the play, including sketches of various stage set-ups and usable designs for making functioning splurge-guns, etc.

With a section of profiles on the characters from the story (fully illustrated with photographs from the movie) as well as an introduction by Alan Parker himself, this really is a terrific practical buy for those working in Drama as well as a delightful read for fans of the film.

Brilliant
This book is about a group of gangsters which are played by children. It is also a bit about love well just when bugsy is dating someone. I would really recamend it. Maybe get the video too it is really fun to watch the children act it out as they are really good. The story line is easy to follow as I have acted it as a play once and really enjoyed it. I think most people will find it really enjoyable.

Bugsy Malone
A comedy set in the 1920's , this play has it all the strugglin gal, the lovesick guy and of course the gangs.Except this one has a twist all the characters are TEENS.
