Inheritance is a daring interactive play like nothing you’ve ever experienced. It puts power in the hands of the audiences, giving them the ability to choose the action of the play. At key moments, the play is halted, multiple plot choices are offered, and with a simple click the audience (both in the theatre and online) picks the path the play takes next, ultimately deciding its outcome.Set on a vast, rural estate, urban couple Abbey (Medina Hahn) and Noah (Daniel Arnold) are on a week-long getaway to visit her father. When they arrive, they find him missing and a local Indigenous man, Frank (Darrell Dennis), staying there instead. When it’s revealed that the colonial property rights to this unceded land are up for grabs, the audience—with anonymous voting devices in hand—decides what happens next.CREATIVE TEAM

And because the audience chooses the story, they’re inherently being shown that every day is a choice.” Medina Hahn adds, “This piece is allowing us to have tough conversations and push them past the points where they usually stop because it’s uncomfortable.” Daniel Arnold adds, “Yeah I’ve always thought this format could be really exciting in the theatre, combining an entertaining mystery with a pressing social issue—and letting the audience decide how it unfolds…” Darrell Dennis (Secwepemc) is the writer/performer of the Dora-nominated Tales of an Urban Indian (Public Theatre New York, Autry in LA, Native Earth, National Arts Centre) and numerous other plays, film, and television. He also wrote/produced the CBC radio show reVision Quest and the award-winning book Peace Pipe Dreams: The Truth about Lies about Indians.
