The Voysey Inheritance - Acting Edition

THE STORY: Crime doesn't pay-or does it? When a con makes you rich, life gets a lot more complicated. For generations, the Voysey family business has been secretly cheating its clients. Edward, a junior partner who plans to take over the company from his aging father, is horrified when he discovers the embezzlement that has been keeping his relatives in the lap of luxury. But nobody wants Edward to dismantle the firm's criminal legacy-not his associates, not the woman he loves, and certainly not his large, pampered family. As the risk of exposure looms larger, and his sense of right and wrong becomes increasingly distorted, Edward comes to fully understand the consequences of his inheritance. THE VOYSEY INHERITANCE is a witty, impeccably crafted portrait of a family in the midst of a surprisingly modern moral dilemma.adapted by David Mamet Harley Granville-Barker is the author of 'The Voysey Inheritance - Acting Edition', published 2007 under ISBN 9780822221289 and ISBN 0822221284.
