Winner of the 2000 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy, THE MEMORY OF WATER is affectionate, sharp and brilliantly funny. Three sisters meet on the eve of their mother's funeral. Together they rummage through their collective memories, dredging up old stories, events and conflicts. Each has evolved their own way of dealing (or not) with the past but as emotion, disputed memory and alcohol all take their toll, they slowly dissolve into a chaos of hilarity and grief.
