The Inheritance Part 2
The Inheritance is a two-part play and is intended to be seen sequentially. However, each part constitutes a complete theatre-going experience on its own.
Winner of 'Best Play' at the Evening Standard Awards 2018, The Inheritance is the play that has taken London's West End by storm. Following a critically-acclaimed run at London’s Young Vic, Matthew Lopez’s play The Inheritance is transferring to London's Noel Coward Theatre from September 2018, for just fifteen weeks.
Directed by multi Olivier Award winner Stephen Daldry, this “monumental and transcendent” (Time Out) production questions how much we owe to those who lived and loved before us. You can read our review of The Inheritance here.
What Is The Inheritance About?
A tale that spans generations and links lives, The Inheritance asks what it’s like to be a young gay man living in New York a generation after the peak of the AIDs crisis. This “remarkably involving production” (Independent) from director Stephen Daldry explores the legacy left by previous generations and the debt we owe to the future – and to each other.
“An exquisitely truthful and funny modern classic” (Telegraph), The Inheritance is a brilliant take on E.M. Forster’s classic novel Howard’s End that sets the tale in our modern world and tells it through the eyes of a group of young, ambitious New Yorkers. By equal turns hilarious, turbulent, and profound, it’s an unmissable theatrical experience.

Amazing

As a gay man of a certain age I can relate to this play so much , being around before HIV and AIDS reared its ugly head . I watched many a young man arrive on the scene and go down hill and die . This play brings it all back and puts it in perspective, well written and very well acted by all concerned, I have to admit I shed a tear or two.

Tooooo long

Loved the beginning of the Part 2, sharp, dynamic and well written and acted. However, by the second and third acts, the play needed skilful editing to keep me engaged, The ending could have had more impact, but by then it felt like torture as the conclusion of the entire piece was obvious and sooooo drawn out .

Bit different

You have to see part one to fully understand part two. Really enjoyed it but wasn’t sure why the story really needed Mrs Avery. And her accent was awful!
