Broadway is buzzing over a 6 1/2-hour tale of gay men connecting across generations. Playwright Matthew Lopez talks about trailblazers, starting with E.M. Forster.
Tony winner who is a lead producer of “The Inheritance,” felt an immediate connection with the script. He’s McNally’s husband but said he was gung-ho before he became aware of the depth of the writers’ regard for each other. The piece “was a bull’s-eye to my heart,” he said. “I thought it was telling my story, as well as a universal story of friendship and love and generational responsibility.”
So “The Inheritance” has become, in essence, a conversation, and as in life, it is interrupted by AIDS. Lopez wraps this into his story, which unfolds from 2015 to the present, by depicting a deepening friendship between one of the central characters, in his early 30s, and an older man who cared for countless friends — and strangers — in their final days.
“I put all my worst qualities into Toby and I put all my best qualities into Eric,” said Lopez, who has worked hard to find balance. He’s been sober for nine years, and he’s been with his husband, whom he credits as one of the great sources of good in his life, for nearly 15. “I’ve taken the two sides of myself and allowed them to do battle royal for six and a half hours onstage.”
Toby, though, is the character toward whom the audience initially gravitates. He’s funny and flirtatious — a klieg light of energy — but beneath the ebullience he is deeply wounded, deadening the pain with booze and drugs.
