Congleton Players

1st February 2011 - 5th February 2011

This is a must see play by Willy Russell. You will be riveted from start to finish ....

The play was originally commissioned by Paul Harman's Merseyside Young People's Theatre Company for Secondary school children, and it was first performed at Fazakerley Comprehensive, Liverpool in November 1981.

Willy Russell’s powerful tale of two brothers considers class, fate and destiny, childhood and adolescence, surrogacy, superstition, humour and tragedy. This is a very gripping play that is a true British classic.

Described as a Liverpudlian West Side Story, Blood Brothers tells the terrible tale of two brothers separated at birth. Shrouded in superstition and sadness, it is a story of a class divide that breaks through blood and kin. It is by chance – or fate – that Mickey and Eddie strike up a friendship. Mickey – scruffy and dirty, with a mouth to match, appears to be the polar opposite of Eddie – who is well-spoken, clean and ‘knows' all the words in the dictionary.
