Blood Brothers is the captivating tale of twin boys, separated at birth, only to be re-united by a twist of fate and a mother’s haunting secret.
Written by the legendary Willy Russell, Blood Brothers is set in Liverpool in 1962.

In a moment of desperation she enters a secret pact with her employer, only to see the situation spiral out of control and lead to the show’s shattering climax.
With show-stopping numbers Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and Tell Me It’s Not True and powerful performances, Bill Kenwright’s amazing 2009 production of Blood Brothers will stay with you for ever. -- www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk
