Blood Brothers Still Performs In Theatres
If you thought that the long-time performance of the Blood Brothers makes it less popular, you are wrong. This is because this long-time theatre production is still being performed in theatres in London. This 1988 West End classic is still on, which actually started in April 1983. The first performance was at the Lyric Theatre, which eventually closed on October of the same year. Thankfully, the classic was revived in July of 1988 and had ended on 1991, only to be transferred to the Phoenix Theatre in November, 1991.
One of the reasons why the Blood Brothers is still on-going is because it is able to adapt itself to the contemporary time and tries to make the audience think about the argument of nature versus nurture. The classic plot of fraternal twins separated at birth and lives on different backgrounds is the pivot of the story, while many of the cast display the realistic situation of the society they are in.
The performance is a compelling myriad of tragedy, surrealism and realism. It is in its 21st year of production and the theme has not yet gone out of season. Even when the story remains the same, the setting is altered not only on stage, but also in the mindset of the audience.
Many of the actors in the play have been changed to make it more timely, but the quality has only changed for the better. The Blood Brothers has circulated all over London to bring to the audience the real way of society. In 1994, the performance even reached US and was received warmly.
If you buy a Blood Brothers ticket, you will get to hear wonderful speeches and dialogues as well as overtures and musical compositions. Each act of the scene has at least ten songs to set you in the mood. You will even want to watch the whole performance again, although the ending is dramatic.
