Still going strong after over 20 years, this is Willy Russell's finest musical, an inspiring, rabble rousing and tuneful classic. Set in Liverpool in the mid 1900s, Blood Brothers follows twin boys separated at birth through an emotional chance reunion and the discovery of a terrible secret kept by their mother.
Mrs Johnstone is deserted by her husband and left to care for seven children with no financial support. She soon discovers she is pregnant again- this time with twins and can see no way to make ends meet. In desperation she enters into a fateful agreement with her employer which culminates into a dramatic climax to the show. With some of Russell's catchiest tunes, stunning production values and a gripping, uplifting plot, Blood Brothers is a night of pure entertainment.
