Liverpool writer and musician Asa Murphy has penned a musical play set to première in the city next month.
New Generations looks at the importance of love and support within family life and will be performed at Hope Street Theatre September 22–23 for three performances.
The play follows the journey a mother and daughter share when the news of a new baby is announced. Both have exciting expectations, but these don’t always match.
New Generations stars Pauline Donovan, Clare Cambell and Nathan Murphy and features songs performed live by the cast and with Asa on guitar.
The play started life as a pilot, selected to perform at Liverpool Theatre Festival Of New Work in 2022, with the original title Grandmother. The production has now been extended into a two-act production with new songs added. The play also had a trial run in London last month.
