Liverpool
The Memory of Water
Starring Helen Flanagan, Vicky Binns, Polly Lister and Victoria Brazier
THREE SISTERS AND A FUNERAL...
Winter, 1996. The Spice Girls are riding high in the charts, football has failed to come home, and Dolly the Sheep's been cloned. Meanwhile, on the eve of their mum’s funeral, Mary, Teresa and Catherine return to their Northern childhood home for the first time in years. As they sort through clothes, keepsakes and ghosts of the past, the whisky flows, resentments surface, and long-held silences crack open with unexpected laughter.
Hilarious yet deeply moving, this is a major 30th anniversary revival of Shelagh Stephenson’s The Memory of Water, which won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy. A play about families, grief, and the unreliable narratives we inherit. A powerful exploration of how we remember and how much we choose to forget.
