Sometimes we only remember what we want to. Sometimes we remember what makes us feel safe; sometimes it is tragically funny.
Three sisters, come together before their mother’s funeral, each one haunted by her own demons. All three have different memories of the same events, causing constant bickering about whose memories are true. One is now an unhappy housewife, who feels she has had to keep the family together for years. Mary is a doctor whose five-year affair with a married man, is starting to show strain, and is troubled by visions of her dead mother. The youngest daughter Catherine is permanently trying to catch her sisters’ attention and feels she was always left out, even in childhood.
As the three women get together after years of separation, all their hidden lies and self-betrayals are about to reach the surface… Winner of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2000.
