brothers

[doris29]

does anyone know of famous brothers in literature or drama (real, not fictional)

[MacGuffin]

Grimm as in Fairy Tales
Karamatzov - probably fictional?

[shaneystar2]

Thomas and Heinrich Mann....German authors

[Alibobs]

The McGann brothers.......actors, Joe, Paul....the other one escapes me.....

[cucuhullan]

George and Weedon Grossmith.
They wrote "Diary of a Nobody."

Joe Mark Paul and Stephen Alibobs

There are two other McGann brothers - Mark and Stephen - but they are all actors.

How about the Durrell brothers - Gerald (naturalist) and Lawrence (author) - who feature in Gerald's book "My Family and Other Animals"

Do Frank and Jesse James count - there have been films about them but I don't know if there are books or plays?

How about Shakespeare's Richard III

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_III_(play )

The characters include Edward IV and his brothers the Duke of York and the Duke of Gloucester + his two sons Edward and Richard - so lots of real brothers!

David Jason and Arthur White (who plays Ernie in Frost) are brothers :o)

Robert and Phil Glenister

Have I misinterpreted the question? Is it that the literature/drama is about brothers, or written by brothers, or can the brothers be actors? And can the drama include films?

If actors/films allowed, then Beau and Jeff Bridges played brothers in The Fabulous Baker Boys.

question says "(real, not fictional)" so I took it at face value! :o)

Peter and Anthony Shaffer (and they were are twins!)
