Description

Inspired by E. M. Forster s novel Howards End, and set in New York three decades after the height of the AIDS epidemic, The Inheritance wrestles with what it means to be a gay man today, exploring relationships and connections across age and social class and asking what one generation s responsibilities may be to the next. Matthew Lopez s The Inheritance premiered at the Young Vic Theatre, London, in 2018, before transferring to the West End s Noel Coward Theatre. It premiered on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 2019. This edition includes revisions made for the Broadway production.
