Memory of Water
In the best tradition of British black humour, this award-winning comedy by playwright Shelagh Stephenson proves that death can reveal the absurdity of life. When sisters Mary, Teresa and Catherine gather together at their childhood home on the eve of their mother’s funeral, laughter and tears ensue in equal measure. As each of the sisters struggles to come to grips with their loss, childhood battle lines are unearthed and redrawn, memories are disputed and reinvented, life choices are analysed, and grief gives way to cathartic giggling fits.
“I am delighted that Roger Hodgman, multi award-winning director and former Artistic Director of Melbourne Theatre Company and the Vancouver Playhouse, will direct this wonderful comedy that proves it is never too late to grow up.” Kate Cherry
Cast includes Rebecca Davis, Melinda Dransfield, Stuart Halusz, Geoff Kelso and Julia Moody
