This is a fast-moving & perceptive entertaining & thought provoking work which is funny yet ultimately tragic. It tells the tale of twin brothers born into a large working-class family & the consequences of one of them being adopted by a neighbouring middle-class family. Blood Brothers" looks at the differences & conflicts of their upbringings their relationships with each other & with their real & adopted mothers. This original version initially specifically commissioned for performance by the Merseyside Young People's Theatre Company is ideal for a large mixed cast. The play is simple to stage rewarding to act & provides plenty of stimulus for discussion & written work."
