Blood Brothers at Edinburgh Playhouse was an impressive and memorable production.
Fiona Tenneb reflects on her recent experience of seeing Blood Brothers again after many years, and how it still resonates with her to this day. Rating it five stars, she shares how the musical left a lasting impression on her when she first saw it at the age of 13, and how she has always wanted to revisit it.

After 35 years, she finally got the chance to see it again, this time with her own 13-year-old daughter. To her delight, her daughter was just as moved by the story as she was at her age. The exceptional acting, particularly in the seamless transition between portraying young children and adults, brought the characters to life in a way that transported her back in time.

Fiona was struck by how the themes of the musical are still relevant today, from unemployment to addiction. The sensitive handling of these issues made them all the more poignant, and she found the portrayal of the struggles faced by those with less compared to the more fortunate to be painfully realistic. The emotional impact of the separation of the two brothers was portrayed with raw emotion and left a lasting impression.

What was most impressive to Fiona was the balance between humor and heartbreak in the musical. The well-timed moments of laughter were a welcome relief from the intense emotional scenes, which left a lasting impact. For both Fiona and her daughter, the performance was not just entertainment; it was a reflection on life, social class, and the consequences of others' choices.

In conclusion, seeing Blood Brothers again after so many years was an unforgettable experience for Fiona. It remains just as relevant and moving as ever, proving that some stories are truly timeless and can still deeply affect audiences across generations. She highly recommends the musical and encourages others to see it for themselves.
