HELEN FORRESTER'S 'BY THE WATERS OF LIVERPOOL' - CURRENTLY TOURING UK 2023 CLICK HERE


Twopence To Cross The Mersey is a stunning period drama set in the early 1930’s in the midst of the Great Depression.

In 1931, Helen’s spendthrift father was declared bankrupt forcing the family to leave behind the nannies, servants, and beautiful middle-class home in the gentler Southwest of England. With nothing more than the clothes they stood up in, the family of nine took the train to Liverpool where they hoped to rebuild their shattered lives. It came as a terrible shock to find the thriving, wealthy port Helen’s father remembered as a boy, the place his own father made his fortune, had long since gone.
