Publisher's Synopsis
From the Pulitzer prize-winning playwright comes a play of passion for freedom of thought and expression in American society. Written shortly after World War I and in a time of the Alien and Sedition acts, IHERITORS is a daring play questioning social justice in American democracy. The play was a departure from any of Glaspell's former work and was considered radical for its time with its defense of free speech. Still as poignant today as it was when it was first written.
