Shane Anthony, Daniel Cottier, Sugary Rum Productions and Seymour Centre present
Matthew Lopez’s epic play, The Inheritance, reimagines E.M. Forster’s Howards End as a contemporary portrait of New York’s gay community.
After AIDS peaked, marriage equality rulings passed and PreP was introduced, what is the legacy of queer elders on modern gay men and what do they intend to leave for the generations following?
At the centre of the play stands Eric Glass and Toby Darling, around whom characters swirl in and out of love, apartments, and arguments. When two strangers enter their lives - an older man and a younger one - their futures suddenly become uncertain as they begin to chart divergent paths. Chance meetings lead to surprising choices as the lives of three generations interlink and collide, with explosive results.
Following hit seasons on the West End and Broadway, four Tony and four Olivier Awards including Best Play, this two-part epic makes its Sydney premiere at the Seymour Centre. Directed by Shane Anthony (Anatomy of a Suicide, Ulster American, The Whale) and starring a massive cast of thirteen brilliant performers, this sexy, funny and sharply political play will be spoken about long after the final curtain.
