The Voysey Inheritance


By Harley Granville-Barker

Adapted by David Mamet

Directed by James Bohnen

Featuring Artistic Associate David Darlow


Presented September 18 - November 2, 2008


Corruption. Fraud. Bankruptcy. Welcome to the Family Business.
It seems people will do anything these days to make a buck. David Mamet’s ruthlessly funny update of Granville-Barker’s 1905 play proves that’s nothing new. When do-gooder Edward Voysey learns of generations of shady dealings within the family business, he is determined to set things right. But the rest of the family is decidedly against his plan. Chicago premiere!

"Raymond Fox's pitch-perfect portrayal is the sort of spellbinding performance that can carry a whole show on its back."
-Brian Nemtusak, Timeout Chicago
