She gives one of them away to wealthy Mrs Lyons and they grow up as friends in ignorance of their fraternity until the inevitable quarrel unleashes a blood-bath. 'Willy Russell is less concerned with political tub-thumping than with weaving a close-knit story about the working of fate and destiny ... it carries one along with it in almost unreserved enjoyment" Guardian One of the longest-running and most successful ever West End musicals, Blood Brothers premiered at the Liverpool Playhouse in January 1983. Review: Read the book and see the play - Willy Russell describes a dramatic, yet tragic tale, of two women that share a dark secret. Set in Liverpool during the 60s/70s, Willy Russell's musical provides a window into the lives of two families, that are socially poles apart. Mrs Johnstone, a single mother struggling to make ends meet has no option but to give away one of her baby twins to Mrs Lyons, a wealthy woman that has yearns for a child of her own. The secret transaction must never be revealed, however, the twins become friends, unaware that they are actually birth twins. The play explores the hardship between the class divide and demonstrates the impact of family secrets, guilt and conscience. There are occasions of humour and innocence, which later becomes sinister and tragic, as neither family can escape the ultimate betrayal. This heart warming book transforms into a gripping, dramatic play, which touches on the heartstrings of all audiences. After reading the book, watching the play is a must. The emotion transmitted through the music, singing and actors performance does not detract form the dialogue within the book, but definitely enhances the harsh realities within this story. I read this book and watched the play as part of my GCSE course, and would strongly recommend reading this, even just for pleasure. It certainly makes you reflect on your own day to day lives and gives relationships another perspective. Review: Son is a stage artist and he was asked by drama teacher.
