Blood Brothers – New Wimbledon Theatre at 7.30pm Friday 8 March 2025

I got a ticket for a cheap seat innthe Upper circle to see this show.

I hadn’t seen this classic from the 1980s. The story spans from the late 1950s up to the 1980s and focuses on Mrs Johnstone a working class abandoned mother in Liverpool who has a lot of children and twins on the way. She is a cleaner for a rich infertile woman and a plan is made for her employer to raise one of the twins as her own.

It looks at the problems this massive secret causes

The ending is not that much of a surprise as a version of the final scene is performed at the start but despite the warning people did still jump at one point. It was also nice that Wimbledon got a mention in the show – in relation to tennis.

8/10
