Based on the famous book of the same name, and following a very successful musical adaptation, Helen Forrester's Twopence To Cross The Mersey is currently showing as a stage play at the Epstein Theatre. Although the main plot is the same, this version tells the story in a very different way, but the key messages that come from the show are as prevalent as they are in its previous incarnations.
Twopence To Cross The Mersey is a true story which is set in the early 1930s. It is focused on a family which had previously been wealthy when living in the capital, but since the Great Depression, they had no choice to leave behind nannies, servants and other characters and characteristics which embodied middle-class life at the time, and they moved from the South-West to the North-West. Their reason for coming to Liverpool was the potential for new employment and a fresh start, having heard good things from friends and relatives who had also come to the region.
