BWW Review: THE MEMORY OF WATER, Hampstead Theatre
Memories are fickle things. We rehearse them, we shape them, and we eventually forget the original events and end up making new ones, filling the gaps with our experience of them rather than the actual occurrences. It’s the core concept of Shelagh Stephenson’s multi-awarded play, The Memory of Water. Premiered in 1996 on the Hampstead Theatre stage, it went on to win an Olivier in 2000, debut in the States, tour internationally, and even landed on the big screen in 2002 titled Before You Go directed by Lewis Gilbert.
Hampstead Theatre Announces Casting For THE MEMORY OF WATER

Hampstead Theatre Announces Full Casting For The World Premiere Of THE HAYSTACK

When an investigative journalist unearths a controversial lead, loyalties and ethics are tested to the extreme.
BWW Review: TOP GIRLS, National Theatre
Caryl Churchill's ground-breaking 1982 work comes to the National for the first time - and, also a first, with a full cast rather than actors doubling up, as the playwright had originally intended. It adds to the expansive feel of Lyndsey Turner's production, particularly effective in the play's still audacious opening.
