CARLTON Players' next production, The Memory of Water by Shelagh Stephenson, is at The Little Theatre in Birkenhead this week.

Described as a black comedy drama, it is being performed at the venue on Grange Road West in Birkenhead from Tuesday to Saturday, March 14 to 18.

The story is about three sisters who gather for their mother's funeral. Each has her memories of her childhood and this creates conflict, which is, by turns, angry, desperate, poignant and funny.

The situation is deepened by the recurring presence of Vi, the mum, a ghostly vision is flowing taffeta. Whilst visible only to one of the sisters, her influence and demand to be understood rather than buried and forgotten drives the other sisters as well.

An evening, 'provocative and hilarious' is promised. Tickets from 0151 647 6593 or here
