The Memory of Water
Directed by Ashley Smith
Three sisters estranged by time meet up again at the house they grew up in on the eve of their mother Vi’s funeral. Teresa, the eldest, believes in homeopathy and its effective treatment of all maladies and whilst her business revolves around this belief, it’s putting her marriage to Frank under strain. Mary, the second daughter, is a doctor and would seem the most level-headed; but still waters run deep and her sensibilities are called into question, particularly when it comes to her long-term relationship with married Mike. The youngest sister, Catherine, is an emotional wreck with a string of failed romances and drug dalliances. The memories they collectively share have been altered by time, by fantasy, and by perspective, and whilst their stories are tragic, their grief manifests itself in wicked humour.
“The Memory of Water” is in two acts and takes place in the house of the recently deceased Vi in the north of England in the 1980s.
