About This Book

Written specifically for GCSE students by academics in the field, the Methuen Drama GCSE Student Editions provide in-depth explanatory material alongside the play texts frequently studied at Key Stage 4. Whether for use in the classroom or independent study, these editions offer a fully comprehensive and lightly glossed play text with accompanying notes specifically directed towards readers of this age, which unravel essential topics and challenge all students to delve further into literary analysis. A well established modern classic, Willy Russell's Blood Brothers tells the story of Mickey and Eddie, twins separated at birth who grow up to lead very opposite lives, but which constantly and inevitably intersect. In addition to some on-page explanatory notes and the play text, this edition contains sub-headed analyses of themes, characters, context and dramatic devices, as well as background information on the playwright. The Methuen Drama GCSE Student Editions never lose sight of their readership, and offer students the confidence to engage with the material, explore their own interpretations, and improve their understanding of the works.

sits. 

The

narrator’s 

language 

is

poetic 

and

old-fashioned 

(he

uses 

words 

like 

‘slain’ 

and

phrases 

like 

‘on 

the

self-same 

day’). 

This 

helps 

to

create 

a

sense 

both 

of

a

story 

(or

a

ballad) 

being 

told 

and

of

something 

that 

is

both 

timeless 

and

old

fashioned. 

It

makes 

him

a

much 

less 

realistic 

character 

than 

the

others. 

Repetition 

of

phrases 

from 

‘a 

debt 

is

a

debt 

and

must 

be

paid’ 

to

‘the 

devil’s 

got

your 

number’ 

add

to

the

sense 

of

unreality, 

operating 

like 

a

refrain 

that 

runs 

through 

the

play.
