Book Synopsis

Inspired by E. M. Forster's novel Howards End, and set in New York three decades after the height of the AIDS epidemic, The Inheritance wrestles with what it means to be a gay man today, exploring relationships and connections across age and social class and asking what one generation's responsibilities may be to the next.

It premiered on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 2019. This edition includes revisions made for the Broadway production.

Review Quotes

"Matthew Lopez's rhapsodic deep dive into the ties that bind the gay community to its past asks how to love, how to live and how to do those well, despite a legacy of damage. It's captivating." -- The Times "An openhearted American theatrical epic. Capaciously moving and blisteringly alive." -- New York Times "An emotional powerhouse. A ravishing theatrical work that urges generations to connect and love. Gripping from first scene to last." -- Rolling Stone "Stop the clocks; the race is won. Here is the play of this year and last year and quite possibly next year as well. This is a work of rare grace, truth and beauty." -- Evening Standard "Powerful, gutsy, shattering, and written totally from the heart. Matthew Lopez's empathetic drama is a moving call for an intergenerational conversation." -- New York Post
