Blood BrothersMusical melodrama set in Liverpool about twins separated at birth and the effects on their personalities as they grow up of 'nature' and 'nurture'. A poor family, already with kids, is blessed with twins, but they can't cope. The mother cleans at a `posh' house where they are desparate to have kids but can't and a deal is struck which no-one must know about. Despite the efforts of the new family the boys paths cross time and time again as they grow and one becomes `bad' while the other is 'good'. Eventually they clash with tragic consequences. The musical is un-usual in having a "narrator" who helps to move the plot along.

I saw this production for the first time last year at Hanley, we enjoyed it so much that each night of the production that was left we took a different set of friends. My children are all very big fans of the music, through listening to the CD and it was our hope to take them to see the Westend show for Christmas, unfortunately (probably for no sensible reason) London is not somewhere I am prepared to go with the current problems we are all experiencing in the world therefore I am searching round trying to find out what the tour dates are and where, can you help??
