THE MEMORY OF WATER: ★★★★  FROM DAILY MAIL

The Memory of Water review, Hampstead Theatre

PATRICK MARMION, DAILY MAIL


'The revival of Shelagh Stephenson's 25-year-old comedy is a bracing blast of fresh air.'

'What I love about this play is that it has blood flowing through its veins.'

'Stephenson's work is a raucous meditation on how we all concoct delusions from unreliable memories. Where lesser writers might find this troubling, she finds it joyous and liberating.'

'Alice Hamilton's raucous production, set in a chintzy bedroom suite, is a salutary reminder that it's mad to be normal and normal to be mad.'
