Blood Brothers by Willy Russell (Modern Classics)

Experience the powerful drama of Blood Brothers, one of the longest-running and most successful West End musicals ever. This edition, part of the Modern Classics series, presents the celebrated work by Willy Russell, which premiered at the Liverpool Playhouse in January 1983.

The narrative follows the tragic story of twin brothers separated at birth because their mother could not afford to keep both. One is given to the wealthy Mrs. Lyons, and the boys grow up as friends, unaware of their fraternity until a fateful quarrel leads to a devastating climax.

The Guardian noted that '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.'
