Cast | Production Staff | Production Crew | Program Copy
In The Memory of Water (winner of the 2000 Laurence
Olivier Award for Best Comedy), three sisters meet on the eve of their mother's
funeral. As the conflicts of the past converge, everyday lies and tensions
reveal the patterns and strains of family relationships in this play that
Combines a flair for witty dialogue with a relish for the dynamics of
theatre ... a mistress of comic anguish, according to the Guardian.
Shelagh Stephenson was born in Northumberland and read drama at Manchester
University. She has written five plays for BBC Radio including Darling Peidi;
a Saturday Night Theatre, The Anatomical Venus; and Five Kinds of Silence,
which won the Writer's Guild Award for Best Original Drama. Her first stage
play, The Memory of Water, opened at the Hampstead Theatre, London, in July
1996, and her second, An Experiment With An Air Pump, joint winner of the
1997 Peggy Ramsay Award, opened in 1998. She is working on new commissions
for the Hampstead Theatre and the Royal National Theatre.
