This engaging and interesting lesson enables students to make clear and developed interpretations of the characters of Mickey and Edward in Willy Russell’s Blood Brothers.

Engaging with the opening to the play and interpreting how Mickey and Edward are presented;
Tracking how the characters are developed throughout the play, through engagement with their key actions and quotations;
Creating character profiles which demonstrate their understanding of Mickey and Edward’s introduction and development throughout the play;
