Blood Brothers
On the 15th of February some drama pupils and I went to watch a play (musical) called Blood Brothers at the Royal Concert hall in Nottingham.
Blood Brothers is a naturalistic play however it has set backgrounds.
The play starts with a gloomy atmosphere having dark lighting showing two dead bodies lying on stretchers surrounded by police and other people. As the other people leave the only people who are left are the narrator and the destroyed mother Mrs Johnson.
The play then opens with Mrs Johnson the mum singing to the audience about her life this is a cheerful atmosphere on stage as there is a comfortable background set with a very cheerful tune to the song.
Then we see her giving up one of her babies to a friend as she has had twins. However little does she know in later years the baby she gave away (Eddie) is now eight years old and friends with her son (Mickey). This is not good because Eddie and Mickey have no idea that they are blood brothers. They then become best of friends and have even agreed because there birthday is on the same day to become blood brothers as they cross there arms prick their fingers, mix the blood and become Blood Brothers But when there mums find out they are not pleased, so Eddies mum (Mrs Lyons) moves Eddie to a different location as she wants noting to do with Mickey.
