Blood Brothers prepares to open

Blood Brothers will open on August 12, but the preparation at Peninsula Theatre is well under way.

Actors, crew and front of house staff played host to some pre-publicity last week.

Braden Menzies (Eddie) and Damien Fitzpatrick (Mickey) gave a quick sample of one of their scenes, showing the results of their hard work over the last couple of months.

The play, originally written in 1981 without music and commissioned by the Merseyside Young Peoples Theatre, comes with a young cast, combining the Woy Woy Little Theatre and the Brisbane Waters Secondary College.

Playwright is Willy Russell, the man who wrote Shirley Valentine and Educating Rita.

The cast includes Amalie Anderson as Mrs Johnson, Rosemary Parsons as Mrs Lyons, Dimity Sharpe as Linda and David Carnovale as the narrator.
