The1812 Theatre Company presents
Shelagh Stephenson's award-winning play
"The Memory of Water"
at the Helmsley Arts Centre
from 21st to 24th April at 7.30pm.
On the eve of their mother’s funeral, three sisters meet and once again clash, as old conflicts flare up and reveal their continuing grip on the present. Events may have been shared but memories of them differ wildly. With a husband and a lover also drawn into this bewildering whirlpool, the play offers
“...a superb mix of wild humour and bruising emotion.” Daily Telegraph
“Blessedly and mercurially funny...Stephenson combines a flair for witty dialogue with a relish for the dynamics of theatre...a mistress of comic anguish.” Guardian
The play won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy in 2000
Congratulations to the 1812 team. A challenging play no doubt made many of us watching reflect uncomfortably on our own familial relationships. Enjoyed Kate's emotional range in particular.
