Clock & Spiel Productions returns to Flight Path Theatre with The Memory of Water by Shelagh Stephenson — a darkly funny and deeply tender exploration of family, grief and the stories we tell ourselves about our past.
As Mary, Catherine and Teresa return to their childhood home for their mother’s funeral, memories begin to unravel, and the boundary between remembrance and reality starts to blur.
Winner of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, The Memory of Water balances riotous humour with moments of profound tenderness, asking what happens when the stories we have carried with us for a lifetime begin to change.
‘Stephenson’s play balances riotous humour and pathos, with its melancholia lingering in your memory.’ The Guardian
