Shawn Jones, the actor who plays Mickey in the play version of Blood Brothers, came in to visit Priory Community School in Weston-Super-Mare on the 20th of September.
Shawn, who has played Mickey for 25 years, spoke about lots of different things, from different scenes in the play to when he got expelled from school at the age of 16.
Some of the GCSE students were also privileged to watch him perform at Weston Playhouse in the same week.
He answered lots of students questions, such as: "How long have you been in blood brothers?" "What is your favourite scene to perform?" "Who is the villain of the play?" "Which scene for you shows the class difference between Mickey and Eddy?"
There were lots of questions about class difference and how that was represented throughout the play.
Students loved having him come in and speak to the Year 11s.
