The Inheritance

The Inheritance





The 2019 Oliver Award Winner for Best New Play is the thrilling two-part epic of three generations searching for connection in contemporary New York.


Story:

Decades after the AIDS epidemic, three generations of gay men grapple with the tragedy of their past and what it means for their future. Eric is a New York City lawyer trying to keep his family’s apartment; his husband, Toby, is a successful but abrasive writer, living in a state of denial. And their marriage is hanging by a thread. From there, a web of hilarious and heartbreaking stories unfolds, remembering the dead and calling on the living to keep looking forward.
