OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION OF THE YEAR (LARGE THEATRE)
A remote property is up for grabs.
You decide how events unfold.
An urban couple are on a week-long getaway to visit her father at his vast, rural estate.
But they find a local Indigenous man staying there instead -
claiming that the colonial rights to this unceded property are up for grabs.
With humor, suspense and a race against time, Inheritance puts the power in the palms of its audience.
At key moments, you pick the path the play takes next, ultimately deciding its outcome ...
