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.
