Following its successful run at the Young Vic Theatre, Matthew Lopez’s The Inheritance will transfer to the Noel Coward Theatre from the 21st September.
Producers Sonia Friedman and Nattering Way have announced that Stephen Daldry’s production will transfer to the Noel Coward Theatre including the majority of the Young Vic’s original cast.
A generation after the peak of the AIDs crisis, what is it like to be a young gay man in New York? How many words are there now for pain and for love? Matthew Lopez’s major new two-part play explores profound themes through the turbulent and often hilarious experiences of a group of young, ambitious New Yorkers. What is the legacy left to them by previous generations? What do they owe the future and each other?
Spanning generations and many interlinking lives, The Inheritance brilliantly transposes EM Forster’s novel ‘Howards End’ to 21st century New York.
Split into two parts, audiences can experience The Inheritance either in one day or across two evenings. It has also been announced that 30,000 tickets will be available at £25 or less throughout the run.
The cast members set to transfer from the Young Vic run include: Hugo Bolton, Robert Boulter, Andrew Burnap, Hubert Burton, John Benjamin Hickey, Paul Hilton, Samuel H. Levine, Syrus Lowe, Michael Marcus, Vanessa Redgrave, Kyle Soller and Michael Walters.
Meanwhile, the creative team for the production features set and costumes by Bob Crowley, lighting by Jon Clark, sound by Paul Arditti & Chris Reid and music by Paul Englishby.
The Inheritance will play at the Noel Coward Theatre from the 21st September until the 5th January. To book tickets click here (part one) or here (part two) or visit: See Tickets, Ticketmaster.co.uk, From the Box Office, Love Theatre.com, Theatre Tickets Direct.co.uk.
