Acerca de esta escucha

Considered “perhaps the most important American play of this century” by The Daily Telegraph, the Tony Award-winning Best Play has arrived on Audible. Based on Howards End by E.M. Forster, The Inheritance takes place in New York City decades after the AIDS epidemic. Eric Glass is a political activist engaged to his writer boyfriend, Toby Darling. When two strangers enter their lives—an older man and a younger one—their futures suddenly become uncertain as they begin to chart divergent paths. In this epic examination of survival, healing, and class divide, three generations of gay men attempt to forge a future for themselves amid a turbulent and changing America.

While LGBTQIA+ creators have been around for millennia, it’s only recently that we’ve been hearing more diverse, more queer-authored, and more queer-performed stories about the entire spectrum of LGBTQIA+ experiences and identities. This list—just like the community it represents—is meant to be fluid. But most importantly, it’s meant to celebrate and reflect on the issues faced by LGBTQIA+ people everywhere.

I have nothing bad to say about this piece. Matthew Lopez is a brialliant storyteller. Each character in Inheritance is beautifully realized and brilliantly performed by its talented cast. Its equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful. The sequence where Trumps America is compared to an HIV infected body is particularly eloquent. I cannot recommend checking this one out enough. You wont regret it.

Tear jerker

as I started this play it annoyed me a little. i was unsure if I would finish. However this was a stage setting in a multilayered cyclical story in wich not only the characters but also the character of the author matures and grows, bringing so many themes and stories into new perspectives.

it has surprising depth

As Angels in America defined Queer Theatre/Playwriting for the last half of the 20th Century. The Inheritance is to the 21st Century.

A Great Play

Unbelievably witty, sad, truth telling of the bravest & most devastating time for gay men.

I lost track of who was who, but didn't care!

As a story, Matthew Lopez weaves the lives of white gay men in a way that the listeners connects with emotionally. As a play, there isn’t much theatricality but still, the play has a lot of merit.

Emotional

The Inheritance is one of the best American plays ever written, a sprawling, episodic drama series in play form that will have deep resonance with the LGBT world, and to anyone processing the loss of a loved one. But at over 6 hours over two nights, it was hard to recommend and hard for people to see (not to mention expensive). The production at Los Angeles' Geffen Playhouse, which featured a new, realistically diverse cast (it does take place in NYC) and the same gorgeous minimalist staging of its COVID-truncated Broadway run, was considered by many critics to be the definitive version. I saw it twice. Both nights. It left a deep mark on me. I was a little heartbroken that its run was so short, or I would've gladly seen it a third time.

I was elated to hear that Audible was preserving this production in audiobook form. While normally plays would lose quite a bit in this format, The Inheritance emerges nearly intact, as its action is largely narrated by its characters. (The lack of physicality also cuts over an hour from its running time.) And I am so grateful to hear these characters again. From Juan Castano's brash, needy, overcompensating Toby, to Adam Kantor's gentle, unassuming Eric, to Bill Brochtrup's reassuring E.M. Forster and his closed off Walter. Special attention must be paid to Bradley James Tejeda in a double role as both ambitious young actor Adam and shut down sex worker Leo. In a work filled with superlative performances, this is one I utterly fell in love with. While some characters keep the staginess of their stage performance, Tejeda adjusts seamlessly to the more subtle performance demanded of a recording booth. He is one to watch.

This play moved me deeply. It reminded me of all of the dear friends I'd lost, and made me refocus on how I want to live out the rest of my life, what's important to me, and most importantly, who is important to me. I'll be grateful to everyone involved in its telling for the rest of my days.

The definitive performance. Bring your tissues.

I had the honor of seeing this incredible production on the stage and I am delighted that it was captured so beautifully for EVERYONE who did not get a chance to see it. It is a beautiful story that needs to be told and retold forever.

A masterpiece.
