Blood Brothers

Blood Brothers, by Willy Russell is appearing at the Phoenix Theatre, making it a theatre event that should not be missed. Set in 60s and 70s Liverpool, the story deals with the issues of class head on with two men who live separate lives with different achievements. They do not know it but they are in fact brothers who were separated at birth and only know each other now as friends. The play ends with a dramatic showdown in a Liverpool street.

Blood Brothers is an original play, written by Russell in 1981at first as a school play and then as a musical, which played in Liverpool for the majority of its time in the 1980s. When it finally opened in London in 1988, it ultimately got the recognition it deserved and is now one of the longest running musicals to captivate audiences in the West End. He has also been responsible for adapting Educating Rita and making it a staple of British stages. Blood Brothers is a relevant, engaging story that should be seen!

Calendar Girls

The hit movie that starred Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, will soon be on a London stage, bringing the world of the Yorkshire Calendar Girls to life in front of you. In the shoes (or lack of!) of Mirren and Walters will be Patricia Hodge and Lyndsay Bellingham in the roles of the Women’s Institute members in Yorkshire who made quite a stir with their nude calendar! From April 2009 you can catch Calendar Girls at the Noel Coward Theatre, brought to you by Hamish McColl and the movie’s screenwriter Tim Firth. Do not miss this gem!

In 2003, the movie version of Calendar Girls told the real life story concerning the mentioned Yorkshire Women’s Institute members and their decision to make a nude calendar to make money for the Leukaemia Research charity. The production of the calendar causes quite a stir, with media buzz being much higher than any of the girls could have possibly expected. The new stage version follows the same path with Hodge and Bellingham in acting roles along with Sian Phillips, Elaine C Smith, Gaynor Faye, Julia Hills, Brigit Forsyth, Joan Blackham, Abby Francis, Gary Lilburn, Gerald McDermot and Carl Prekopp.
