Blood Brothers :: Drama

Blood Brothers1. On stage left-hand(a) were the posh houses where Edward lived, on stageright were the council houses that Mickey and his family lived in. Upstage centre was a brick wall with a painted goalpost, lots ofgraffiti. The piece of graffiti that stood out the most was the wordEverton. Upstage right was a large alleyway. On both stage leftand stage right in between the houses were smaller alleyways.2. Mickey- Young Linda-Teen Large sleeveless V-neck Pullover Short Black skirt Very dirty uncontaminating plimsolls High heeled black stilettos Large dirty shorts- falling down. Blond hair- worn in a high ponytail. Black socks White shirt, couple of buttons undone bring out stomach and cleavage (just). Grubby white shirt (short sleeved under green pullover) Dirty knees, face, hands and arms. Shirt tied at bottom Dark, messy hair.3. The childhood scenes were made realistic by the costumes thechildren wore. For example Linda wore a girly dress and wore her hairin pigtails. The voices also made these scenes realistic because themales made their voices higher. The scenes were made facetious by thegames they played and how excitable they were.4. One of the actors performances I enjoyed was that of Sammy becausehe was a troublemaker. His performance was made effective by thesneaky office he had and the tough loud voice he used, this createdthe impression he had a lot of power over people and was in charge,but was neer going to be punished for his actions. He only lookedout for himself and seemed not to care for anybody else even hisbrother. Another actor I enjoyed watching was Mickey because he started offbeing a strong, fun, helpful character and ended up being avulnerable, self-hating character. This made me feel sorry for him. Mickey ended up getting his brother and himself killed. He gave theimpression of needing stability in his life.5. I think the narrators role was many different things. He was the vote counter he was also the characters conscie nce for good andevil. He looked over the characters. The narrator was also aforewarning to us of what is to happen.6. I think the playwright managed the pathos, finished the action andfinal song Tell me its not true this causes the audience to feel
