Written specifically for GCSE students by academics in the field, the
Methuen Drama GCSE Student Editions provide in-depth explanatory
material alongside the play texts frequently studied at Key Stage 4.
Whether for use in the classroom or independent study, these editions
offer a fully comprehensive and lightly glossed play text with
accompanying notes specifically directed towards readers of this age,
which unravel essential topics and challenge all students to delve
further into literary analysis.
A well established modern classic, Willy Russell's Blood Brothers
tells the story of Mickey and Eddie, twins separated at birth who grow
up to lead very opposite lives, but which constantly and inevitably
intersect.
In addition to some on-page explanatory notes and the play text, this
edition contains sub-headed analyses of themes, characters, context and
dramatic devices, as well as background information on the playwright.
The Methuen Drama GCSE Student Editions never lose sight of their
readership, and offer students the confidence to engage with the
material, explore their own interpretations, and improve their
understanding of the works.
