Blood Brothers archiveMusical melodrama set in Liverpool about twins separated at birth and the effects on their personalities as they grow up of 'nature' and 'nurture'. A poor family, already with kids, is blessed with twins, but they can't cope. The mother cleans at a 'posh' house where they are desperate to have kids but can't and a deal is struck which no-one must know about. Despite the efforts of the new family the boys paths cross time and time again as they grow and one becomes 'bad' while the other is 'good'. Eventually they clash with tragic consequences. The musical is un-usual in having a "narrator" who helps to move the plot along. Running time 2 hours 45 mins including interval

This show was excellent. Saw it many years ago with Barbara Dixon, this equals if not betters the show in London. Maureen Nolan brilliant. Standing ovation at Matinee, wants some doing.


Lynne: 12Apr15:
Amazing. Very funny, very clever and very sad. A well deserved standing ovation by all the audience at the end.
