24.08. Willy Russel: Blood Brothers 9.30pm Theatre Anatoliki Tavros
Book, lyrics and music by Willy Russel. It is one of the longest-running works of musical theatre in history, with the 1988 West End production still running after 20 years. The play is a contemporary nature vs. nurture tale revolving around fraternal twins separated at birth. The twins' different backgrounds take them to the opposite ends of the social spectrum, one becoming an Oxbridge graduated councillor and the other ending up on the dole and in prison for a while. Both fall in love with the same girl; this girl is married to one of them and the other is stealing her, and ultimately this conflict leads to their tragic death. This also shows how a difference in class can make a big difference, how two babies brought into the world by the same parents can lead two very different lives and be two very different people; "And do we blame Superstition for what's come to pass, or is it what we the English have come to know as class?"
