Youngsters from Wisbech's Thomas Clarkson Academy are set to stage a riotous rendition of Bugsy Malone this month.

The Prohibition-era gangster spoof will transport its audience back to 1920s New York, complete with iconic 'splurge guns' and a gaggle of mobsters.

The pupils will star in and produce the musical themselves, as they follow the escapades of boxing promoter Bugsy, his singer girlfriend Blousy Brown, and quarrelling mobsters Fat Sam and Dandy Dan.

The production is based on the 1976 comedy classic, written and directed by Alan Parker, known for its infamously messy whipped cream fights.

Thomas Clarkson Academy has a history of captivating performances, with previous shows including Great Expectations, High School Musical, and Into the Woods Jr.
