Parker, Alan: Bugsy Malone: Playscript (Libretto)

Get your students to be gansters in this great play which has been specially adapted for schools from the popular film. 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, photographs, and lively activities.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to perform the musical, you can find everything you need at our Bugsy Malone homepage.
