The stage play about the life of acclaimed author Helen Forrester opens in Liverpool as part of a new tour.
Twopence to Cross the Mersey comes to Liverpool’s Royal Court Theatre for three weeks from September 20 to October 8 for 23 performances, including six matinées.
A seven-venue tour across the North West and North Wales follows.
Helen’s dramatic, moving and heart-warming tale come to life as she and her family are forced to survive in the slums amongst the streetwise working class.
In its earlier format, the musical version of the show had four successful runs at Liverpool’s Empire Theatre, firstly in 2004 and then returning in 2005, 2007 and 2009.
The new version is staged by Pulse Records Ltd in collaboration with producer and stage writer Rob Fennah and producer Bill Elms. They are joined by director Bob Eaton.
