The Bent is proud to announce the regional premiere of The Inheritance Part I, the acclaimed, Tony Award-winning play by Matthew Lopez. Inspired by E.M.Forster’s Howards End, this sweeping and deeply moving epic story explores love, legacy, and the lives of gay men in 21st-century New York, decades after the height of the AIDS crisis.
Directed by The Bent Artistic Director, Steve Rosenbaum, The Inheritance Part I offers audiences a bold, resonant theatrical experience that has been hailed as “monumental” and “profoundly affecting” by critics and audiences alike.
Set a generation after the peak of the AIDS epidemic, The Inheritance follows a group of young gay men navigating identity, intimacy, and intergenerational connection in a rapidly changing world. With humor, heartbreak, and soaring humanity, Lopez crafts a moving tribute to those we’ve lost and those still forging the future.
Tickets are available now at The Bent. Check out this historic production that confronts the past, embraces the present, and dares to imagine a better future.
