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.
