"Did you ever hear the story of the Johnstone twins?"
The narrator of Blood Brothers, played by Dean Chisnall, opens and closes the show with this statement. When it begins, we're not to know the true details of the highs and lows of the Johnstone twins, although we are given a visual clue as to what lies ahead. Unusually, the narrator tells us the outcome at the beginning, with the show acting almost as a biography of how the Johnstone twins would meet their fate. By the time we hear this statement repeated, we know their story. Oh, do we know their story. And their story is one of manipulation, humour, heartbreak, triumph, sadness and ultimately tragedy. It's incredibly compelling, and the show as a whole is simply incredible.
