## Acclaimed Play Returns with Near-Original Cast

The Teatre Lliure in Barcelona is reviving *The Inheritance*, the award-winning stage production directed by Josep Maria Mestres, two years after its premiere to widespread public acclaim. The play, which opens at the Lliure de Montjuïc on Saturday 14th November 2026 and runs until Sunday 13th December, revisits a generation of young gay men in New York during the first term of Donald Trump’s presidency. Mestres described the work as exploring the need to "love and be loved with freedom and live full lives", according to a theatre statement published on Thursday 12th November. The revival forms part of the Teatre Lliure’s 50th-anniversary celebrations, as confirmed on the institution’s official anniversary page.

## Seven Awards and a Visit from the Playwright

The production returns with almost the same cast from the 2024–2025 season, including Dafnis Balduz, Ricard Boyle, Carlos Cuevas, Abel Folk, Eudald Font, Víctor G. Casademunt, Teresa Lozano, Lluís Marquès, Carles Martínez, Albert Salazar, Marc Soler, and Ferran Vilajosana. Alfons Nieto replaces Francesc Cuéllar in one role. The play has won seven awards, including four Premis Butaca and three Premis de la Crítica. American playwright Matthew López, author of *The Inheritance*, a work inspired by E. M. Forster’s novel *Howards End*, will attend one of the performances during the Barcelona run.

> "It's the same play, but time passes in vain and has settled,"

said Mestres, reflecting on the revival’s resonance in the current moment.
