The JOEADZ production of Pvt Wars turned out to be … A SENSATION. We received a rave review in the school magazine from a girl in the year above who didn’t even know us, and there was even some grudging praise from a few of the Lads, all of which immediately went to my head and I started believing I was Robert De Niro.

Bugsy Malone

One morning towards the beginning of 1986, Joe, Ben and I sneaked out of school during a private study period and over Cokes and crisps in our favourite café Cornballs suggested our next project should be a stage production of Bugsy Malone.

Alan Parker’s 1976 film musical in which children play Prohibition-era gangsters, drive pedal-powered sedan cars and battle each other with machine guns that shoot whipped cream was a thrilling, dreamlike experience when I saw it first aged nine. Star Wars was all well and good, but Bugsy Malone was the realisation of just about every childhood fantasy I’d ever had, so I was wary of taking a big 16-year-old crap on it.

The play programme from the 1986 JOEADZ production of Bugsy Malone with design and layout by A. Buckles and passive-aggressive thanks by J. Cornballs.
