SUMMARY:The Inheritance Parts One & Two
DESCRIPTION: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 López’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 most important 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. \n**Please note that The Inheritance consists of two separate plays** \nFor a full schedule\, CLICK HERE.
