In The Memory of Water (winner of the 2000 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy), three sisters meet on the eve of their mother’s funeral. As the conflicts of the past converge, everyday lies and tensions reveal the particular patterns and strains of family relationships. ‘”Combines a flair for witty dialogue with a relish for the dynamics of theatre …a mistress of comic anguish” Guardian. Five Kinds of Silence (winner of the 1996 Writers’ Guild Award for Best Original Radio Play and the 1997 Sony Award for Best Original Drama) is the story of a family in which control has become the driving force, where everything has its place, and where there are only rules, duties and punishments.
