‘SPLURGE’ ON TICKETS FOR GANGSTER COMEDY CLASSIC COMING TO THE THOMAS CLARKSON IN WISBECH FROM WEDNESDAY, JULY 10.

Prohibition-era New York will be brought messily to life when youngsters from a Wisbech school stage their production of the gangster spoof Bugsy Malone this month, complete with ‘splurge guns’.

Students from Thomas Clarkson Academy will star in and produce the musical, which is set in the 1920s and features the exploits of eponymous boxing promoter Bugsy, his girlfriend singer Blousy Brown, and warring mobsters Fat Sam and Dandy Dan.

Based on the hit 1976 comedy classic written and directed by Alan Parker, the show is best known for its ‘splurge guns’, where the battling gangsters famously splatter one another with dollops of whipped cream.

Past productions at Thomas Clarkson Academy have included Great Expectations, High School Musical, and Into the Woods Jr.

Performances of Bugsy will take place in the school theatre over three consecutive nights, from 10 to 12 July, at 7pm.

There is free parking on site at Thomas Clarkson Academy, which is part of the Brooke Weston Trust, and tickets cost £6 each from the link below or can be purchased via ParentPay on the school’s website.
