This is the play version of the hugely successful musical (which is currently being performed professionally and is not available for amateur performance). Darlington College will perform the lesser known parent of the musical. It tells the tale of twin brothers and what happens when their mother decides to have one of them adopted. Their contrasting upbringing and the hand fate deals them is fast-moving, perceptive and ultimately tragic.
