Blood Brothers, by Willy Russell is a story about two twin brothers born in a unfortunate working class with a abandoned mother, named Mrs Johnstone. Mickey and Eddie are the twins. The main theme “seems to be saying that the real world social forces the shape of people’s lives.” The variance between social class effects most of the characters in the play, this expresses the story about family and friendship, which fluctuates the heart of the play and the core behind the social class. Willy Russell portrays the play by comparing the upper class and the lower class using different characters with various personalities. Willy Russell positively states the prejudiced nature and unambiguous divide of social class by using families in “Blood Brothers”.
