Blood Brothers GCSE Student Edition

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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. These notes 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 whose paths 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.
