Scene Summary and Context
Blood Brothers is a play set in Liverpool during the 1960s through the 1980s, a period marked by social change, economic hardship, and class divisions. The story revolves around twin brothers separated at birth, growing up in different social environments but unknowingly crossing paths later in life. The play explores themes of sibling rivalry, fate, and social inequality. Liverpool during this era faced significant economic decline, with many working-class families struggling while the city’s cultural identity flourished.
