Mnemonic is about memory, people's personal histories, shared memories, and discordant recollections—exhuming the past in order to examine it in the present.

A variety of stories—from the discovery of bog people like Tollund Man to people's compulsion to retrace the origins of their ancestors—collide and form a piece of theatre which questions our concept of time, our capacity to distort history, and our attempts to retell the past.

Presented at this past summer's Salzburg Festival, the play is having its UK premiere in November 1999.
