When a debt-ridden mother of seven discovers she’s pregnant again, this time with twins, she makes the heartwrenching decision to leave one of the babies with her employer. Raised on different sides of the tracks in late 1960s Liverpool, the boys meet, by chance, and become fast friends – all the time unaware of their shared history. But as they grow up, life throws many trials their way.

It’s in town 2-6 September (7.45pm; 2.30pm Thurs & Sat matinee), featuring rousing songs such as Bright New Day and Tell Me It’s Not True. Tickets from £15.
