Heritage
by Stephen Churchett

Three generations of a family come to terms with change over the course
of a year. Stephen Churchett's elegiac new play considers how we deal
with what’s handed down to us, both the tangible and the
not-so-tangible. How do we confront our morality, and if we do live on
in some way, what is the nature of our immortality?
