The Legacy

'I read her newspaper bits. In one of them she used the v-word. Vagina. Actually wrote it. Thank God Daddy only read The Telegraph.’

Rebecca is surprised and excited when her estranged sister Esther shows up for the reading of their late father's will. But Esther's very presence soon disrupts Rebecca's dream suburban life; prompting questions neither sister wants to face. Cracks appear. Tempers fray. And the truth about Esther's disappearance a decade ago finally surfaces.

The Legacy is a cynically funny drama by Angela Clarke, which explores notions of gender, sex, and love. Angela is a published author and journalist. The Legacy is her debut play.
