The Memory Of Water
The Memory of Water by Shelagh Stephenson
Families have long memories. The trouble is, nobody remembers things quite the same way.
When three sisters return to their childhood home on the Yorkshire coast following the death of their mother, they find themselves confronting old grievances, uncomfortable truths and memories that refuse to stay in the past.
As preparations for the funeral get underway, the stories they have told themselves for years begin to unravel. What follows is funny, touching and, at times, painfully familiar.
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Shelagh Stephenson's The Memory of Water remains one of the most celebrated British plays of recent decades. Richly observed and full of warmth, it captures family life in all its contradictions, where affection and frustration often go hand in hand.
Join us this November for a modern classic that explores grief, memory and the people who know us best.
