Blood Brothers is a captivating and unforgettable story set in Liverpool. It tells the tale of a single mother in financial desperation who gives away one of her new-born sons and attempts to keep them from discovering one another's true identity. However, the twins' paths cross in later life, when they become unavoidably linked.
Mickey and Eddie grow up as friends, in ignorance of their fraternity. The pressure of their class traps them, sealing their fate. Brilliantly funny and yet tragically moving.
