The Memory of Water by Shelagh Stephenson

First staged at the Hampstead Theatre, London, in 1996, 'The Memory of Water' went on to win Best Comedy at the 2000 Olivier Awards.

Stephenson's poignant comedy centres on three sisters - Teresa, Mary and Catherine - just after the death of their mother. Each with different memories of the same past, the women argue about which events really took place, exposing lies and betrayals on all sides. Will their family ties reunite them after years of separation, or will their conflicting memories continue to tear them apart?
