Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.
This week, we look at the operatic conflicts and power struggles of organized crime stories, what makes their anti-heroes so compelling, and why as far back as we can remember we always wanted to be a gangster.
