Three
sisters return to their childhood home, reunited to prepare for their mother’s
funeral.  As they make the final
preparations for this event, memories of their childhood rush in and old
rivalries resurface. During this sensitive time, each sister attempts to cope
with the relationship with her husband/boyfriend – often with amusing results.  The Memory of Water makes it
abundantly clear that memories can be unreliable, and the differences in
individual recollection of those memories can be the source of biting humor, as
well as deep-seated anguish.  Ultimately,
this shared past has strongly influenced the psychological and emotional
development of each woman, and provides each a source of strength and the
ability to love and forgive her sisters. 



The cast for the show
includes: Michael Carr (Somerville),
Alexandra Corwin (Arlington), Kami Crary (Stoughton), Gordon Ellis (Waltham),
Rebecca Shor (Watertown), and Liz Tancredi (Waltham).  The director, James Barton, is from Marlboro.
