A Blue Plaque was unveiled in 2020 at the late author’s family home in Hoylake on the Wirral, a place which features heavily in her work. Millions are familiar with Helen Forrester’s life story which is told through her best-selling volumes of autobiography. The production is part of the first national tour of Helen Forrester’s Twopence To Cross The Mersey, about her up-bringing and life on Merseyside during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The prizes are both for the evening performance (7.30pm curtain up) at the Ashcroft Theatre on Tuesday, October 18. We have two pairs of stalls tickets – face value: nearly £70 for each prize – to give away in a simple, fun competition. Inside Croydon is delighted to offer our loyal readers the chance to see a new theatre production coming to the Fairfield Halls next month: the play Twopence To Cross The Mersey.
