Doing this makes the play very interesting, and helps keep a quick pace, therefore keeping the audiences attention. ===================================================================== There have been many themes that have interested audiences of 'Blood Brothers'. The theme are particularly like is the one which expresses the friendship between Mickey, Edward and Linda; and the ways their friendship alters through the play. ===================================================================== I feel the purpose of the play is to show us how the social divide of life, that we all experience, can have a dramatic affect on many different aspects of everyone's lives. Here in particular we can see that it affects the friendship between Mickey, Edward and Linda. We can see this affects their relationship because, at the beginning we can see that they have to go against what their parents have told them, to be able to meet up and play out together. We are shown this when Edward goes and plays with Mickey and Linda, regardless of what his mother has told him not to do. We are shown how the divide is against them, when Edward comes back from university for Christmas, and Mickey tells him to go away because he has some problems. We can see that whilst Edward has being enjoying himself at university, Mickey has had to grow up quickly and take on a lot of responsibility. Unfortunately Edward can't see this why this should affect them having a Christmas party and the friendship between them breaks down. Here we can see how the social divide has come between Mickey and Edward. Looking at the relationship between Mickey and Linda we can see it develops a lot through the play. At the beginning they start of as just friends. As the play moves along we can see this develops into much more eventually they marry. We are shown how it develops through funny and serious scenes throughout the play.

Stoppard wanted his play to express more meaning and different messages to his audience but he desired for them to search the play and pay close attention to the different meanings present so they could gain the most possible from the play and those who did not understand would walk away not understanding how much they missed.

The theme of the play has to do with the way that life is an endless cycle. You're born, you have some happy times, you have some bad times, and then you die. As the years pass by, everything seems to change. But all in all there is little change. The sun always rises in the early morning, and sets in the evening. The seasons always rotate like they always have. The birds are always chirping. And there is always somebody that has life a little bit worse than your own.
