Hit new play The Inheritance to transfer to London's West End

The play is a modern-day epic **split into two parts** with a **seven-hour runtime.** But don't let that daunt you! The show has been widely critically acclaimed and its length has been likened to a Netflix binge that "makes you want to keep firing up episode after episode" (*The Stage*). *[The Inheritance](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/play/3180/the-inheritance-part-1-tickets.aspx) *follows young gay men in present-day New York City a generation after the tragic AIDS epidemic of the 80s and 90s that claimed thousands upon thousands of lives (nearly 9,000 gay New Yorkers died in 1994 alone). **Matthew Lopez** is famous across the pond, where his Civil War-era play, *The Whipping Man, *was one of the most widely produced new American plays of its time with productions staged in over two dozen theatres across the US with 101 off-Broadway performances. Critics have widely considered Lopez's latest play, *[The Inheritance](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/play/3180/the-inheritance-part-1-tickets.aspx)*, to be one of the most important plays of our time and highly relevant. Many of the original cast members from the Young Vic production of this **two-part drama*** *are set to reprise their roles for the West End transfer, including **Andrew Burnap, Hubert Burton, Hugo Bolton, John Benjamin Hickey, Kyle Soller, Michael Marcus, Michael Walters, Paul Hilton, Robert Boulter, Samuel H. Levine, Syrus Lowe** and **Vanessa Redgrave.** *[The Inheritance](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/play/3180/the-inheritance-part-1-tickets.aspx) *opens at the [Nöel Coward Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/108/noel-coward-theatre.aspx) on **21 September 2018** and will run **until 5 January 2019.** Tickets go **on sale on Friday, 18 May 2018.** * * * Be sure to purchase your tickets early to both parts of *The Inheritance *to avoid disappointment.
