By The Waters Of Liverpool
Adapted from Helen Forrester’s million-selling book
A stunning period drama produced by the team that brought
the smash hit ‘Twopence To Cross The Mersey’ to the stage
Set in the 1930s after Helen’s father went bankrupt during the Depression, her
family were forced to leave behind the nannies, servants and middle-class life
in the South West of England. The Forrester’s chose Liverpool as the place to
re-build their shattered lives. They were in for a terrible shock. Taken out of
school to look after her younger siblings, Helen is sick of being treated as an
unpaid slave. So begins a bitter fight with her parents for the right to go out to
work and make her own way in life. But by 1939, with Britain on the verge of
war, Helen, now aged 20, has still never been kissed by a man. However, things
start looking up for her when she meets a tall strong seaman and falls in love.
