Now in its 30th year in London’s West End, Blood Brothers is the haunting story of the Johnson twins, separated at birth and brought together by the power of friendship. A tale of superstition, class distinction and adolescent love loosely based on The Corsican Brothers by Alexandre Dumas, Blood Brothers was the winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Musical in 1983. Heart-warming and tragic, BLOOD BROTHERS is a contemporary parable, punctuated by an energetic score of pop-rock songs.

Presented by CenterStage Players of Ohio
Sept. 26-Oct. 4
North College Hill

Directed by Fred Hunt

Official cast list |

This drama is a partly fictionalized courtroom drama of the “Monkey Trial” battle (in the sultry summer of 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee) between two famous lawyers (Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan) who volunteered to argue both sides of the case. Its story centers around the issue of evolution vs. creationism, in the prosecution of 24 year-old Dayton High School math teacher and sports coach – and substitute science teacher – John T. Scopes for violating state law by teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution in a state-funded school. The plays title is taken from the Biblical book of Proverbs 11:29: “He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.”
