Note
The play can be done as a melodrama or a light-hearted comedy. The audience
can be encouraged to "boo" at Ally Capone, "sigh" for Bonney, and cheer for
"John." When they hear the secret knock, everyone can yell, "It's the secret
knock!" Basically this play is meant for theatre groups who wish to ham it up and
be wacky.
IMPROV INTRO
As a warm up with the audience, do a mini-melodrama. Have audience members volunteer to come up on stage and pretend to be a damsel in distress, a villain and a hero. The rest of the audience practices cheering for the hero, booing at the villain and saying "ahh" for the damsel in distress. You can even have them act out a super short melodrama.
CHARACTER INTRO
Before the play begins, each of the major characters can introduce themselves: JOHN, FLO, BERTHA, BONNEY, and ALLY
