The Memory of Water

The Memory of Water is both hysterically funny and powerfully moving. Reunited at their mother’s home in the English countryside on the eve of her funeral, three very different sisters return to old habits and new quarrels as they remember the woman that shaped them all in different ways. Exchanging witty jabs as they sort out the funeral arrangements, they cover topics ranging from the men in their lives to their disparate memories of Mum. Playwright Shelagh Stephenson investigates the challenging landscape of family relationships with candor and affection.
