use of blue combined with the red made me think of the well known phrase 'blood is thicker than

young boy. We did some funny (comical) stuff, like the boy over exaggerating in ways that were not
needed but he thought they were. He also uses, costumes, props and lighting so people can see how

audience feel sympathy for the two mothers. Marilyn Monroe has a huge influence on the play and
on the characters as she mirrors the character of Mrs Johnston as she was also good looking and also
Mickys character has a life similar to Marilyn Monroe as he gets a slight drug addiction. We see on
pages 70-71 that Mickey is depressed and stressed. To Mrs Johnstone the narrator is a representative
of the future and what is to come, which is closely linked to fate. He holds his hands to his head, as
if they could protect him and he is almost crying. Linda is placed in the middle to represent how she
is stuck in the middle and torn between the two of them. Mrs Lyons, a rich woman who can't have
children of her own, persuades her cleaning lady, Mrs Johnstone, to agree to give away one of her
baby twins in so her other children won't be taken into care by social services who have sent her a
letter. I think it must have been one of them little plates that you have bread off.” Edward “a side
plate?” Mickey “No its on the top”. I believe that the music contributed to the action throughout the
show, but especially at the end, and at any point when the mood changed, for example when the
Johnston family moved. Linda feels inferior to Edward and does not feel good enough for him, due
to her upbringing and money situation. The policeman looks very at ease and the atmosphere is quite
relaxed except for Mr Lyons who is sitting straight-back with a serious expression on his face. Amil

The surrounding character all need to be taken aback, with shocked expressions, almost as if they are
holding their breath, but at the same time petrified at what Mickey will do, as they don’t know what
he is going to do with the gun. He never once kept quiet, No matter the circumstances; Mickey was
always the one to be overly dramatic which I much-loved. This shows that Mrs Lyons can give
orders to Mrs Johnston because she is wealthy and has got plenty of money. He thought that he could
have been in Edwards’s position, and that he could have wealthy and would have been able to have
what Edward had. The twins have left the world in the same way as they entered it: together. When
Mrs Johnson tries to move, she talks to the movers, but struggles to move away. As a youngster
Mickey is rude and impolite to others. The only time his pace is changed is when he closes the deal,
he does it quickly in fear of the possibility of Mickey changing his mind. The main effect of
Thatcherism was that it made the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. To explain she was
meant to be this stuck- up and snobbish middle-aged lady but the way she postured herself didn’t
make it seem as if she was superior enough. The red being symbolic of blood and death, creates
tension, mystery and fear. Yet later this fear rubs off and when Mr Lyons unconcernedly places the
shoes on the table Mrs Lyons screams and rushes forward to knock them off. The way they actually
moved also revealed a lot about the age of the character they were playing, sliding on the floor and
stomping around, as well as jumping and running, attributing to their youthfulness. This is because it
was Mrs Johnston who told them that they were brothers. In the story Mickey could not afford to
have a party because he spent his money on his wedding with Linda. While the pair of them kept on
secretly meeting, they had an affair which led to a fatal conclusion. This refers to her asking Mrs
Johnston for one of the twins because Mrs Lyons cannot have any children. For instance the persons
who acted out the parts of, Mickey and Eddie were so funny and convincing; they kept me gripped

You an’ Councillor Eddie Lyons.”. Whilst he talks, he talks in a toneless manner, which makes it
more sinister, whilst he tells the prediction of what is ahead. Later on in the scene, when Mrs Lyons
finds out the boys have met she tells Eddie that they boys are not the same. I was playing a little boy
who was rich and he got a gold watch but he wanted lots of money instead, and he started to moan,
about what he got. Despite being trapped by her social position and her lack of funds, she is down-
to-earth and does not see money as the answer to her problem. It starts with Mrs Johnstone and her
superstitious nature but then develops throughout the narrative as Mrs Lyons then becomes
superstitious and things, happenings start to evolve around the superstitious nature. The Play finally
ends in tears after Micky discovers this growing relationship between Linda and Edward and shoots
him, only to be shot himself by the over watching police. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the
next topic. He also appeared at crucial points to help the story flow, and maintain its direction. To
explain Mrs Lyons was always dressed in beautiful frocks and she changed her elegant attire many
times during the play. During this period men worked and women were usually housewives.
By this I mean adults played the roles of children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults. The director
has used many methods to put the narrator 'above' the rest of the characters. We reach the stage
where Mickey is holding a gun at Eddie. However, this only makes the climax of the play more
shocking and effective towards the end of the play. We did the scene to show the difference between
a rich family’s Christmas and a poor. She is down to earth and approachable, more so than Mrs
Lyons. A strobe light was used effectively, this could be to show that the pace had quickened. She
looks withdrawn as if she is having a daydream as she starts to sing. I could see that Linda loved
Edward because she would run into his arms and try and kiss him. In the first scene Linda is
portrayed as young and so even though she acted like a boy the actress still dressed as a girl, in
bright frocks. To clarify, the new shoes were figurative of superstition because twice in the play it
had been used to link in with superstition. Mrs Johnston sees the two boys together, and, realising
who Edward is, she frightfully warns Mickey not to go near the area the boys met in the hope that
this will keep them apart. Mrs Lyons opens a parcel which contains a pair of new shoes, and places
them on a table. Also included is a smaller scheme of REVISION lessons which can follow the

Johnson has not got a lot of money, which gives her no power over anything. Most people of

is told throughout the play, by the interventionist narrator, with songs as soliloquy’s, to assist telling
the story and explaining the characters thought and feelings. The only people that move towards the
two characters and they’re mother and the police. Before the curtains went up I was a little worried
as we were so high up it was like looking down on the stage and it made me but I was also
disadvantaged as I could only see one half of the stage properly. It kept me excited and interested
throughout, with moments, which made me jump in shock as well as emotional points, which made
you sympathise with the actors. For instance the persons who acted out the parts of, Mickey and
Eddie were so funny and convincing; they kept me gripped to the play and did not fail to excite me.

However because Edward speaks a formal language he does not know ho to use it. This is because it
shows that which ever people are form upper-class backgrounds they are respected by other and have
got power where as people who are form working-class backgrounds they are not respected at all,
also they can be fooled or mistaken because they are not highly educated as rich people. Or do you
think the ending was going to happen, it was their fate or destiny. Both mother and mum’s attitude
show that they are equally desperate and over possessive. The difference in class is shown mainly
through costume and accents. The atmosphere is again quite hostile as Mickey is taking the anti-
depressants he has been prescribed by the doctor, but Linda is unhappy that he is taking them,
pleading him to stop taking them but Mickey again ends the conversation, like in the previous scene
by telling her to leave him alone. However, Russell had the last laugh as Blood Brothers has now
been running for years and has won numerous awards including an Ivor Novello. Is this a final
betrayal of the working class or a reasonable desire to escape from its limitations. Subsequently he
spent more time writing songs than setting hair. The lyrics and music in this song are less serious than
in other songs because it’s representing the fun the kids have. Mrs Lyons, a rich woman who can't
have children of her own, persuades her cleaning lady, Mrs Johnstone, to agree to give away one of
her baby twins in so her other children won't be taken into care by social services who have sent her a
letter. I tried to make it believable as much as I could, but I made it funny as well. The atmosphere
created in this scene was Romantic and tense as we knew that couple should not be together. Edward
portrays the image of a knight, coming to rescue her from her poor life, enhancing her fantasy. When

means that he could not get the things that he wanted, however if he was to get the things he wanted
he would often have to share them with his brothers and sisters. Linda receives support from
Edward, who has grown into a very different man than Mickey. I believe it has been directed in this
way because to each woman the narrator represents a different thing. Mrs Johnstone invariably had a
bright spotlight on her and the Narrator, by contrast, was in the black or the shadow. When the actors
on stage get to the pint where there is a pause after Edward says “no, for god’s sake!” we will hear a
police man saying his lines backstage, or in other words, outside the office theme. The words were
appropriate to what was happening on stage and they were directed at Mickey. To impress him
Edward tells the policeman things that Mickey would say according to Edward. A definite rise in
tension, apprehension, anticipation etc was successfully made. While the pair of them kept on
secretly meeting, they had an affair which led to a fatal conclusion. Willy Russell was born in
Whiston near Liverpool in 1947. Unlike Mickey who is worried about getting a job as he has no
privileges and no luxuries, he can’t afford not to worry.

discovers this and begins to have a mental breakdown. At one point in the scene, my character felt
shocked because he had never seen a naked woman before. Mrs Lyons is still concerned about the
people her son is mixing with. This is because Mickey is gets really annoyed with Edward because he
jumps up and down on the stage. This is shown by the quote above which is said to by Mickey to
Edward. The stillness created here, by the lack of music was very powerful. Also, The mother is
amazed by the house that Mrs Lyons lives in, “Its such a lovely house. What dramatic and language
techniques does Willy Russell use to influence the audiences emotions. Mrs Johnstone is reluctant,
but Mrs Lyons’ persistence and seeing the opportunity of a good upbringing relents. However we
find out that Mickey had been fired form his job and has got a pregnant wife. Also because Mrs
Johnson is from a working class lifestyle this shows to the policeman that she is not intelligent and
did not get any education like the people who have upper-class lifestyles. At the start of the play, we
are introduced to Mrs Johnstone as “the mother, so cruel”. Both the women don’t want the twins
meeting each other. Edward goes off to university and his life consists of parties and new friends,
whilst Mickeys wife, Linda becomes pregnant and he is made redundant. We knew from reading the
script that despite her best efforts Mrs Lyons failed at keeping the brothers apart and a strong
friendship grew between them, this also resulted in Eddie defying his mother on the subject. Good

Brothers' we were asked to complete an essay which discussed the medium and elements of drama
that had been portrayed within it. Mrs Lyons says this to Mrs Johnston when she is told that Mrs
Johnston will be having twins but cannot afford to keep them both. The narrator has been subtle yet
dominant through the extract, now appears and speaks as the narrator. This helped to create tension
as we could see Ms Lyons becoming more and more affected by her own actions and the narrator
also served a purpose, to not let her forget. When this scene came to existence he was breathing so
heavily that I, myself thought he was at breaking point, this for me was he communication I shared
with him. Connecting to the audience in a different way entirely. The main features of a Greek
Chorus are as follows.
The main emotions I felt were shock, nervousness and sadness. Mrs Lyons fires Mrs Johnson, leaving
Mrs Johnson with no job, no money and unable to see her baby, Edward. But after a spell in prison,
Micky is continually depressed, and pushes Linda to find it hard to stay and not play away with the
gradually more attractive Edward. Once the play started though it wasn't a huge problem, although I
could see the actors’ faces very well and I felt that they knew I was present as I felt some of the
acting was directed at me. This can be done by Eddie opening his hand, like he’s asking the whole
stage why it’s a problem and spoken in a light hearted voice, almost chuckling like he doesn’t give a
care to the world, basically saying its not the end of the world, you’re still alive. Applitools ? 12

Strings and keyboard seem to be the only instruments used at the start of the song. He is excited
about the prospect of money and speaks in a louder rushed, higher pitched voice in an attempt to
convince himself that what he is doing is okay. The backdrop is of a dusty room with stained brown
walls. We did the scene to show the difference between a rich family’s Christmas and a poor
family’s Christmas. According to Russell it depends on nurture; the child that was given away got the
better life, it wouldn’t have mattered which one was given away. The music accompanying Mrs

blackmailing her into keeping quiet. The lighting when he hands Mrs Lyons the bible is very
affective, the narrator in darkness with his back to the audience and his hand and Mrs Lyons spot
lighted gives great affect like a grave idea or action being planted so darkly from the shadows. Willy
Russell has used this type of language to make the play sound more realistic to the audience. The
lights helped to define space as it made it clear to us that they were somewhere else from Mickey
who was on the other side of the stage. The way they actually moved also revealed a lot about the
age of the character they were playing, sliding on the floor and stomping around, as well as jumping
and running, attributing to their youthfulness. Issuu turns PDFs and other files into interactive

Eddie says this it need to sound like ha has a carefree attitude to life, and that he does not really
think of money and Mickey’s situation. It is also effective when the lights change from focusing on
the scene to when the Narrator talks to the audience, as though the actors are right next to each other,
the lighting clearly shows that they aren’t really together and that they unaware of each other, though
the Narrator is often able to see the other characters, but they cannot see him. Indeed the play was
more than likely set anytime between the 1970’s and 1980’s. Eddie is then frozen with his back to
Linda to show him leaving and his anger at the fact he hadn’t told her sooner. She will stand still,
looking cold and dead for about ten seconds before she sighs and looks up towards the audience. To
clarify, when Mr Lyons placed his shoes on the table and Mrs Lyons panicked the red light drew
attention to the scene. After the bright light slowly dimmers, there would be a moment of pure
silence, making the atmosphere and mood very tense and at the same time causing confusion of why
Mickey is there with a gun pointing at Edward. As Mrs Lyon starts to talk about how much she
wanted a baby and the reason they bought such a big house was because she thought she could fill
the house with children.
Edward is always shown dressed more smartly then Mickey. The Lyons have a large and immaculate
home, but it is empty. Linda is dressed casually in jeans, but is scruffy, much like Mickey to create
the image of being poor. This shows that he does not know how to use it appropriately also Edward
has been bought up without socialising with people who swear, there for he has been bought up
without knowing or learning swears from his friends. This is because he has got a job and has got
married and is also expecting a baby. Mickey would do this so then the audience can see that he is
upset and depressed because he has not got any money. When Mickey first speaks in the scene, in
response to Eddies “guess who”. The whole cast pulled of very good Liverpool accents making the
play more credible. I think he tries to show this in the play through the characters Mickey and
Edward, one belonging to a working class family and the other to an upper class family. He
communicates this to the audience by the fact that he stumbles and stutters all of his words. I thought
for that tiny scene, if I only did it once, it would be very effective. Eddie grows up to be a councillor
and Mickey has a job in a factory and struggles to survive. This is similar to Mrs Johnston’s position
when she was pregnant with Edward and Mickey, she could only afford to keep one of the twins.

actors' portrayal of Mickey, Eddie and Linda as children were all very believable, they definitely did
not seem like adults playing children they were children. It is about a woman who goes to a
nightclub and a man comes up to her and starts to chat with her. Mickey’s way of getting of his pony
was definitely thought through because that’s how I would get off a real-life pony and Eddie’s
mannerable way of getting onto the pony truly showed how there was a division between high and
low status. One the ways this is achieved is the natural tenderness shown by Mrs Johnstone, as well
as her liberal and accepting attitude. Uk-NO1 Best Black Magic Specialist Near Me Spiritual Healer
Powerful Love Spe. Eddie however shouts after her, this emphasises his desperateness to see her.
This scene creates sympathy for Mrs Johnstone, who despite lacking the money to offer her children,
is the more kind and reasonable of the mothers. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Mrs
Johnstone as “the mother, so cruel”. The tension would be lightly released and shown by the sound
effects and the background music calm a bit, and the lights would turn yellow slightly but as Mickey
starts of his next line with “fiends!” the light would change from yellow to red, the actors on stage
would have a completely angered looking face. Here Romeo is describing his fear of 'some
consequence yet hanging in the stars' that will 'expire the term' of his life, which are definite
references to fate and fortune. This was shown because the tone of his voice had lowered and he
begun to look restless and drowsy. This refers to her asking Mrs Johnston for one of the twins
because Mrs Lyons cannot have any children. If they were happy it was upbeat but when they were
sad the music was slow. This to me was because of all the continuous songs being played. The scene
would again be dark and dingy to try to recreate the colourings and mood of the prison and
prisoners. Mrs Johnstone’s husband has left her and she has to live in poverty and the lack of normal
necessities.
