Inheritance  by Hannie Rayson

 

To be staged in the Old Fire Station at The Capital August 2009

Thursday 27, Friday 28 Saturday 29 at 8.00pm, and Sunday 30, at 2.00pm

 

 

Set in the Mallee district in Victoria, the Myrtle twins, Dibs Hamilton and Girlie Delany, are turning 80. As the family gathers to celebrate, speculation grows as to who will be the one to inherit the family property, Allandale when the aging Farley Hamilton is gone.

From Hannie Rayson (Life After George and Hotel Sorrento) comes this powerful new drama, where duty contends with freedom, and the differences of race, gender and generation must be reconciled before claims on Allandale, and its families, may be settle.

 

Inheritance is on the 2009 VCE syllabus list.
