A brand new stage production documenting the early life of best-selling author Helen Forrester, By The Waters of Liverpool, is going back on the road during Autumn 2023 after its inaugural tour came to a standstill at the start of the Covid pandemic. 

The new eight-week tour opens with a 10-date run at Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre from 6 September, and concludes with six days at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton in late October – just a few miles from where Helen Forrester was born in Wirral.

Between Liverpool and New Brighton, the production will also visit venues in Crewe, Coventry, Sale, Rhyl, Darlington, Lichfield, St Helens, Southport, Halifax, and Lytham. 

By The Waters Of Liverpool is a stunning period drama produced by the team who brought the smash-hit Twopence To Cross The Mersey to the stage and directed by Gareth Tudor Price. 

The cast will be announced in due course.

Writer and Producer Rob Fennah said: “When By The Waters Of Liverpool was forced to close back in March 2020, we all thought it was a setback and we’d be back on the road within a few months. It never occurred to us that it would be over three years before the show would hit the stage again. As with everyone working in the arts at that time, it proved to be a very difficult period forcing many talented people to leave the industry for good. But in true Helen Forrester style, we managed to survive and now want audiences to know that By The Waters Of Liverpool is coming back, bigger and better than ever.”
