Isn't it funny how your family always remembers things differently?

Anyone who’s ever had a lousy Christmas, struggled with family dynamics, or bashed their head against the recalcitrant personalities of their parents or siblings, will enjoy this fabulous play. Describing three sisters locked in a tug-of-war over the past while dealing with the traumas of the present, The Memory of Water gets to the heart of family life with warm and raucous humour. It says that the way we remember things reveals more about ourselves than about the things being remembered. Perhaps a memory isn’t a recording of the past, but a wish sent back from the future…

It’s a lovely piece full of heart and humour. Excellent jokes give way to festering resentments and drunken hilarity, to sudden glimpses of buried secrets and aching pain.
