Books Descriptions
A Liverpudlian West Side Story: twin brothers are separated at birth because
their mother cannot afford to keep them both. She gives one of them away to
wealthy Mrs Lyons and they grow up as friends in ignorance of their fraternity
until the inevitable quarrel unleashes a blood-bath. '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" Guardian One of the longest-running and most
successful ever West End musicals, Blood Brothers premiered at the Liverpool
Playhouse in January 1983.
