Willy Russell has given us Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine, now we have the gritty and 
powerful musical Blood Brothers. This modern parable tells the story of twins fatefully parted 
at birth - one boy to be raised in wealth, the other in poverty. The lives of each become inevitably 
bound together in spite of the mothers' efforts to prevent their meeting. This is a parable where 
class, destiny, superstition, and love collide in a riveting climax.

Blood Brothers is a captivating story complimented with stunning and original scores, has left 
audiences gasping. Members of Beothuck Street Players have been trying to obtain the rights 
to Blood Brothers for a number of years. This year that permission was granted and Beothuck Street 
staged this production in St. John's, Newfoundland on October 21, 22, 23, & 24, 1998.
