An Encounter with 'Blood Brothers'
03 May 2024
Tuesday night was far from ordinary for the Year 10 GCSE students, as they headed out for an evening at the Hippodrome to watch 'Blood Brothers'. The excitement was palpable as they settled into their seats, knowing they were about to experience Willy Russell's legendary 'play with music', a piece they’d only seen in the pages of their GCSE curriculum.
As the curtains rose, the drama unfolded, weaving a story of fate, family, and tragedy. The audience was completely captivated, reacting with gasps, laughter, and eventually, tears. Despite already knowing the ending of the play thanks to their studies, the emotional impact of the live performance was undeniable, and there was not a dry eye in the house as the final scene played out.
A special thank you to Mrs Shutt for accompanying us on the trip.
