THE INHERITANCE Will Make Australian Premiere at fortyfivedownstairs

The Olivier and Tony award-winning play The Inheritance by Matthew Lopez will make its Australian premiere from 17 January – 11 February 2024 at fortyfivedownstairs.

The production will be directed by Kitan Petkovski. The production team also includes Bethany J Fellows (Set & Costume Designer), Katie Sfetkidis (Lighting Designer) and Rachel Lewindon (Sound Designer & Composer), all of whom worked with Petokovski on the Green Room Award-winning production of The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven.
