“I wish you’d stop remembering things that didn’t actually happen.”
Three sisters meet on the eve of their mother’s funeral; Mary, Catherine and Teresa think they share a common past. A world of disputed bicycles, midnight ice-cream sodas, Mum’s cocktail dresses and perfumed advice – a seaside childhood punctuated by the odd monosyllable from Dad.
But where does reality end and family myth begin? Why has war broken out in Mother’s bedroom – and why is Vi, so recently deceased, still with us?
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best Comedy in 2000, Shelagh Stephenson’s poignant and painfully funny comedy is about conflicting memories, life and loss.
