À propos de ce contenu audio

 Inheritors (1921), penned by the talented American playwright Susan Glaspell, explores the profound legacy left by an idealistic farmer who bequeaths his prized Midwest farmland for the establishment of a college (Act I). Fast forward forty years, and his granddaughter boldly champions the rights of Hindu nationals to protest at the very college her grandfather founded. This act of defiance places her in direct conflict with her uncle, the president of the institutions trustees, and threatens the colleges funding (Acts II & III). As she stands firm in her beliefs, she ultimately faces the harsh repercussions of defying family expectations, risking imprisonment in the process (Act IV). A powerful commentary on free speech and personal conviction, Inheritors emerged during a time marked by aggressive anti-Communist sentiments in the U.S. The play made its debut at the Provincetown Playhouse in 1922, marking the end of Glaspells productions there, and has since been revived in New York City by Mirror Repertory in 1983 and Metropolitan Playhouse in 2005.
