ABOUT THE SHOW
A young man appears in a social services office, agitated, volatile, and demanding to speak to Edie, a heavily pregnant therapist known for treating young men ‘at risk’. He seems to know far more about her than he should. About her marriage, her thoughts, her unborn child. He’s fluent in the language of the Manosphere and uses it to spin a tale about her life – it’s one that she cannot quite believe, but also cannot quite dismiss.
Heir is a new Australian play about shifting modes of manipulation, inheritance, and the quiet ways violence travels between generations. It asks what a woman owes the child she is carrying, and what she owes the one in front of her.
