'Memory must live in the present and it must be truthful.'

Memory explores how we choose to remember events and the consequences of those choices. We are introduced to a group of actors in the rehearsal room with their director. They take us to East Berlin in 1990 just as the wall has come down. A young man arrives at the flat of his grandmother with awkward questions about the past. Meanwhile, a generation later, the Israeli security barrier is going up. The past and present is explored in a series of compelling scenes and memories are challenged in the search for the truth.

Memory is an intimate exploration of division, destiny and recollection in a new play by Welsh playwright Jonathan Lichtenstein, described by the Jewish Telegraph as, “An innovative thought- provoker that draws in the audience and enthrals.”

Directed by Terry Hands, one of Europe’s leading directors with an international reputation. He is the founding director of the Liverpool Everyman Theatre and during his 25 years with the Royal Shakespeare Company directed more productions there than any other in the company’s history.

Director: Terry Hands
Designer: Martyn Bainbridge
