12 A1 and 12A2 visited the Marketplace Theatre Armagh at the end of March to see a superb performance of Blood Brothers : The Play.
Willy Russell's play, presented by The Bardic Theatre, has a contemporary plot that immediately grips an audience. It revolves around fraternal twins who were separated at birth. The twins' different backgrounds take them to opposite ends of the social spectrum, one becoming a Oxbridge graduated councillor and the other unemployed and on the dole. They both fall in love with the same girl, with tragic consequences.
This version of the play certainly had it all. There were plenty of laughs, with the twins as boys acted superbly. Everyone had their opinion on their favourite actor, but we all agreed on one thing: it was a great day out and certainly a good spot of last minute revision of this GCSE text!
