Bookmark

It’s remembering which helps three sisters survive the despair of losing their mother and come to terms with their own lives. From start to finish The Memory of Water is a whirl-wind of emotions, bouncing from hilarious hysterics to twisting sorrow and pain. In the end, it’s very simple: sometimes a good laugh, a good cry and a good hug are the best therapy.

I'm glad we got to see the current play at Dragon. My date was quite taken by it. Before it started she had asked to go home right after but, obviously, she got caught up in it as she remained for the Q&A with the cast, which she passionately participated in, despite a froggy throat. Her own mother, of whom she saw very little as a child, died five years ago. On Friday, just days before seeing the play, she had a phone conversation with an aunt, to whom she hadn't spoken in years, and found out a lot about her mother that she hadn't known before. The wounds were fresh for the show. I believe it was somewhat therapeutic and cathartic for her. Though she refused to characterize it as a comedy, since she was overwhelmed by the pain of it all, she did laugh (apparently in recognition) throughout. The Memory of Water stirred up memories...
