Matthew Lopez’s epic play, The Inheritance, reimagines E.M. Forster’s Howards End as a contemporary portrait of New York’s gay community.

A story of survival, legacy and love, The Inheritance investigates a circle of friends attempting to forge a future for themselves amid a turbulent and changing America.

At the centre of the play stand 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.
