About this listen

Willy Russell’s epic award winning musical Blood Brothers  is probably the greatest British working class musical ever. 

This incredible story follows the Faustian pact made by a young woman with no money who agrees to give away one of her twin baby boys to a wealthy woman because she is unable to feed him - we then follow the contrasting fortunes of the two lads and the two mothers over a period of 25 years.

With fantastic performances from Niki Colwell Evans, Paula Tappenden, Jay Worley and Josh Capper plus a wonderful book and insightful social comment there is lots to engage, entertain and make the audience think.

 Blood Brothers opened in London in 1983 and in many ways it looks like the production has barely changed so the big question is does this show still have what it takes 40 years later

I was invited to see the show as a guest of the Lighthouse, Poole as part of its UK Tour.
