Blood Brothers

Dear readers, here we are providing Blood Brothers PDF to all of you. Blood Brothers is a musical with a book that is written by Willy Russell. He was born on 23 August 1946 in Whiston, United Kingdom. He came from a working-class family and became a hairdresser after leaving school at fifteen. In later life, he decided to go back to college. It was at college that he started writing plays.

Blood Brothers was originally published in 1985. Mrs. Lyons, Mr. Lyons, Mrs. Johnston, Sammy, Edward, Mickey, and Linda are the main characters of this book. It has received numerous awards including Olivier Award for Best New Musical. This book has received 4.6/5 stars on Amazon and 3.8.5 stars ratings on Goodreads.

The play opens with a prologue that tells us that the Johnstone twins were separated and then died on the day they found out about each other. Mrs. Johnstone gives a brief history of her life and then starts her new job cleaning for Mrs. Lyons. Mrs. Johnstone finds out she’s having twins and wonders how she will cope.

Mrs. Lyons asks if she will give one twin to her as she is unable to have children of her own and can offer it a good life. When the babies are born Mrs. Lyons takes Edward, and Mickey stays with his biological mother, Mrs. Johnstone. Mrs. Lyons then sacks Mrs. Johnstone, threatening her with a superstition about separated twins dying if they ever find out about each other, to ensure she leaves Edward behind.
