Mulligan gives a beautiful performance, depicting every emotion with grace and empathy. She takes you on a journey of how Helen has grown up since Twopence and how she is finding herself as a young lady. https://www.thereviewshub.com/by-the-waters-of-liverpool-ms-bank-arena-auditorium-liverpool
Wirral Globe | ★★★★
It is a strong cast that conveys joy and sadness in equal measure.

The cast, except for Mulligan, all played a number of roles which for me added to my appreciation of those involved, they were brilliant, there was humour, sympathy, frustration and tears.

Good News Liverpool | ★★★★
What is particularly noteworthy about this latest incarnation of the show is that it has much greater clarity in its storytelling than before. Director Gareth Tudor Price has adjusted the pacing of scenes to help bring out the detail at crucial points while pressing ahead with the action in between.

Whats Good To Do | ★★★★
Particularly hilarious was the hairdressing salon scene. Lynne Fitzgerald and Samantha Alton (actors play multiple parts in this play, with only Emma, as Helen, having just one part) bounced off each other – their accents made it even more funny! Lynne’s scouse quips and broad accent had me and the audience around me tittering.
