The paper penetrates the value of family life and the transitions over the period of time. Wastwater is one of the finest plays by Simon Stephens and an elliptical triptych. The play deals with the stories of three different couples. One among the three stories of Wastwater is the love bond between mother and the son. Furthermore the play reveals the emotional struggle between the mother and the son when Harry has to take the decision to depart himself from his mother for the future development and the emotional balance of Frieda who as a mother manages the situation in a motherly matured manner.

Family transition, Simon Stephens, Wastwater, Frieda, Harry.
