The Inheritance

---

“Lopez’s The Inheritance, a two-play, seven-hour work exploring the reverberations of the 1980s AIDS epidemic for a new generation of gay men, is certainly epic…[Lopez] attributes the success of the play to the support offered by Williamson at Hartford Stage.”  

--Mark Ravenhill, The Sunday Times

“To watch The Inheritance is to pass from engaged but detached interest into a realm of total absorption before arriving at a state of emotionally shattered but elated awe… Star ratings are almost beside the point when confronted by work of this magnitude but hell, yeah, five.”

--The Telegraph 

“Stop the clocks; the race is won. Here is the play of this year and last year and quite possibly next year as well.”

--The Evening Standard

“pierces your emotional defences, raises any number of political issues and enfolds you in its narrative.”

--The Guardian
