Our eagle-eyed regular readers of the blogs might have noticed that I reviewed Blood Brothers not too long ago. Gold stars to them. However, with the international smash-hit coming to Llandudno's Venue Cymru at the end of this month - I just had to mention it again!

Willy Russell, one of Liverpool's most acclaimed playwrights, penned the multi-award winning play over 20 years ago. The fact that the play is still in production in London's West End speaks volumes - it is a timeless classic. It has graced theatre stages all over the world and it always ends in the same way - with standing ovations.

Set in the writer's hometown Liverpool, the play tells the tale of twin boys, separated at birth who are reunited at several stages later on in their lives. The opening scene sets the heavy tone of the play with the twins' mother having to give up one of her beloved children as she cannot afford to provide for them both. With major themes of love, loss, superstition and revenge, the play is reminiscent of a Shakespearean tragedy and is utterly heart-wrenching and brilliant.

With beautiful, memorable musical numbers, a compelling plot and unforgettable characters, the production of Blood Brothers at this magnificent venue is an absolute must for those who haven't seen it before - and if you have, see it again!

The production will run between 30 August and 4 September at Llandudno's Venue Cymru.
