“Tell me it’s not true. Say it’s just a story…”

Blood Brothers, by the author of Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine, is a haunting rags-to-riches tragedy of our times. A woman with numerous children to support surrenders one of her newborn twins to her childless employer. The boys grow up streets apart, never learning the truth, but become firm friends and fall in love with the same girl. One prospers while the other falls on hard times. A narrator warns that the separation of twins commands a heavy price: the lives of the blood brothers, who die on the day they discover they are related.

Blood Brothers premiered at the Liverpool Playhouse in Liverpool, England in 1983. On April 11, 1983, the show opened in the West End at the Lyric Theatre. The Broadway production of Blood Brothers opened on April 25, 1993 at the Music Box Theatre, where it ran for over two years.
