Round House Theatre proudly presents The Inheritance, the most awarded play of our generation, performed in a breathtaking two-part theatrical event. Winner of the Tony, Olivier, Drama Desk, Critics' Circle, Evening Standard, and Drama League Awards for Best Play, Matthew L?pez's epic masterpiece instantly became a modern classic. Hailed as "a vast, heartfelt, and hugely ambitious" (The Guardian) work, The Inheritance follows a group of young gay men in New York as they wrestle with love, legacy, and the shadow of the AIDS crisis. Deeply moving and bitingly funny, this unforgettable production asks: What do we owe those who came before us, and what will we leave behind? Presented in repertory, Parts One and Two create an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime experience. "The best American play of the century so far" (The Telegraph), The Inheritance is more than a play - it's an event that will stay with you forever.
