Holby City’s Mark Moraghan and Hollyoaks actor Parry Glasspool will be joined in Twopence to Cross the Mersey by Jenny Murphy, who has theatre credits including Cilla – The Musical, Oliver Twist and The Little Match Girl.

The show will stop off at the Lichfield Garrick on 22nd and 23rd October as part of a nationwide tour.

Producer Rob Fennah said the the cast and crew were looking forward to bringing Helen Forrester’s work – which charted her life through a best-selling volume of autobiographies – to life on the stage.

> “Twopence to Cross the Mersey is such a poignant true story and, although based in the 1930s, it tackles many scenarios people can still relate to today – it’s the main reason why it has remained so popular across the UK and around the world.  
>  
> “Now we have our cast in place we can actually start believing we are taking the production on its first major tour after such a challenging few years for live theatre and entertainment.  
>  
> “Helen Forrester was an incredible woman, and we are proud to continue to be custodians of her fascinating stories.  
>  
> “Some years ago Helen and I grew to be good friends, and we shared many letters and lengthy telephone conversations about her life story.  
>  
> “There were some real gems in amongst those conversations which I have now written into this new adaptation – fascinating memories of the late author that didn’t find their way into her books.”

> Rob Fennah
