Blood Brothers: musical/stage play by Willy Russell

  Blood Brothers  is a musical with book, lyrics, and music by Willy Russell. The story is a contemporary nature versus nurture plot, revolving around fraternal twins Mickey and Eddie, who were separated at birth, one subsequently being raised in a wealthy family, the other in a poor  family. (Wikipedia) Blood Brothers is ultimately a tragedy (with comedic elements throughout) and explores a variety of themes such as social class and inequality, superstition and fate. Blood Brothers has some fantastic songs........ Verdict: Suitable for study at Junior Level although there is some swearing.   .
