“Tell me it’s not true. Say it’s just a story…”
This is the non-musical play version of the hugely successful musical. It tells of twin brothers and what happens when their mother decides to have one of them adopted. Their contrasting upbringings and the hands fate deals them creates a fast-moving, perceptive and ultimately tragic story.
