A poignant and bittersweet comedy, The Memory of Water was 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 emerge everyday lies and tensions reveal the particular patterns and strains of family relationships.

Stephenson combines a flair for witty dialogue with a relish for the dynamics of theatre and is an acute and funny writer who carves out a welcome territory that is distinctive, contemporary and theatrical.
