Dud Brothers

BBC Radio 4 - 15 Minute Musical, Xmas 2017, Dud Brothers

A musical tale of two babies, separated at birth and tragically reunited by politics.

A Blood Brothers-inspired separated-at-birth story featuring two unlikely musical MP heroes.

A Blood Brothers-inspired separated at birth story where Jeremy Corbyn and Jacob Rees-Mogg discover that despite being brought up with opposite political ideologies, they actually have one very significant thing in common.

We begin with two abandoned children being taken in and cared for by two very different families. After chalk and cheese childhoods, Jacob and Jeremy finally meet in parliament where they reveal through a searing ballad their joint desire to not only make their respective parties unelectable but also to join forces and find their common birth mother. Who is she and where will they find her?
