15th to 20th November
The Memory of Water
By Shelagh Stephenson
Directed by Lyn Lockyer



 

  
Roger invites his friend Philip and Philip's wife 'Old Mo' to join him on his luxury yacht. Roger's employee Denys and his wife Valerie are also invited. Complications start when Lisa, Roger's ex-wife, arrives followed by Philip with his latest girlfriend, Mercy, instead of 'Old Mo'. With all possible combinations and permutations this play is hilarious and has an unexpected climax.  


 		 THE MEMORY OF WATER is a bittersweet, life affirming comedy about three sisters, meeting 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 with the past but as emotion, disputed memory and alcohol all take their toll, they slowly dissolve into a chaos of hilarity and grief.
