The show is a moving tale about inherited beauty and bitterness, trauma and tenacity, and a stomping ground for seven incredible hours of strong stage acting

The Inheritance is a seven-hour, two part play that explores what it means to be a gay man with a generation of elders missing owing to AIDS., a hearty piece of American drama mightily heralded in both London and New York, is now having its highly anticipated Canadian premiere in Toronto.

Every actor in the cast of 13 he has assembled is performing at the highest level I’ve personally seen from each and all are in sync in terms of style. Under Healy’s direction, this company of actors assembled for only a few weeks miraculously seems like it could be the celebrated ensemble of Canada’s National Queer Theatre.

A chance mix-up of bags at the Strand bookstore brings a handsome, young actor named Adam into the couple’s lives – and into their brunch circle. This house looms large behind the action of the whole play, conjured by brick and boarded-up windows in Michael Gianfrancesco’s haunting of a set. In part two of the play, it reveals new layers and levels with the help of designer Kimberly Purtell’s longing-filled lighting.
