Whoosh Productions and Critical Stages
This award-winning play is a big hearted and bittersweet examination of family and memory by one of the UK’s best new playwrights Shelagh Stephenson.
Trapped by a snow-storm in the hours before their mother’s funeral, three adult sisters endure a bickering, humorous and unsettling reunion; Teresa, the ‘martyr’ and caregiver, Mary the classic over-achiever, and Catherine the wayward daughter.
Deftly balancing moments of hilarity and sorrow, this extraordinary play explores the influence that parents exert on their children’s lives … even long after they have physically departed.
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2000 and voted UK ‘Play of the Year’ in 2001.
