This course offers an in-depth exploration of Willy Russell’s Blood Brothers, focusing on its plot, characters, and powerful social commentary. Students will study key figures including Mickey and Edward, Mrs Johnstone, Mrs Lyons, and Linda, examining how Russell uses their stories to explore class, inequality, superstition, and fate. The course also analyses the role of the Narrator, the impact of music, and the play’s distinctive use of language, form, and structure.
