Blood Brothers 28th Nov – 1st Dec 2017

Posted on by

Blood Brothers, a play by Liverpudlian playwright Willy Russell, revolves around twin boys (Mickey and Edward) who are separated at birth and brought up in completely different environments in the city. The play, set in the 1960s.

Mickey is brought up with his seven older siblings by his struggling single mother, Mrs Johnstone. His twin brother, Edward, however is brought up as the only child of the wealthy Lyons family, who live nearby, after Mrs Lyons persuaded Mrs Johnstone to hand over one of her twins at birth. Mickey and Edward don’t meet each other until they’re seven years old, but immediately become best friends and blood brothers. The bond continues when the boys are teenagers and both live in the countryside, despite them both being in love with Mickey’s neighbour Linda. However, as they get older, the huge difference in their backgrounds pulls them apart and eventually leads to their tragic deaths.

Written during a period of huge changes in society and politics, Blood Brothers draws the audience’s attention to the detrimental effect that social inequality can have on people’s lives.

Phil Earle, teenage fiction author visit

Posted on by

On Monday 9th October, 2017, thirty-four Year 7 and 8 pupils from Prestatyn High School enjoyed the opportunity to meet Phil Earle, an author of teenage fiction, at Prestatyn Library. Phil Earle spoke about how, from being a non-reader and reluctant writer at school, he found a love of teenage fiction and decided to try writing his own books for teenagers. Now a several-times published author, he shared his experiences and engaged the pupils with ideas about where stories might come from, giving advice such as, “Let your imagination go for a walk,” and telling them that, “Good fiction asks you questions; it gives you moral dilemmas.” The pupils were clearly enthused, evident when they had the opportunity to offer ideas and ask questions. Some pupils left the talk with story ideas and were keen to start penning their own novels as soon as possible. Watch this space!
