Hanging Cow Productions presents the debut of "An Awkward Inheritance" Off-Broadway April 22nd - 28th!
Mabel Kane, a spunky, adventurous, woman of mystery, and notorious community leader of a very small town in Nevada, has just died, leaving her three, grown, estranged and dysfunctional children to sift through Mabel's wishes AND demands for her lucrative estate. Hoping to cash in and run, her children, Marigold (a married therapist), Jadge (a drifter) and Thelma (A DMV teller) are shocked to learn the REAL truth about their mother and her life and the fate which beholds Mabel's estate for all. When the complexity of Mabel's entanglements within her businesses and the community are revealed, no one will ever be the same. Will her children come together and use their grief AND motivation to finally learn to get along and grow up themselves? As they all consider abrupt new life changes within the terms of Mabel's conditional inheritance, what will happen when a family that struggles to find anything in common emotionally or otherwise, have to work together on a HILARIOUS, but DRASTIC new life path that will change them ALL forever?
This new comedic, dramatic play is the newest, 2019 addition to acclaimed up and coming playwright Elise Maurine Milner's repertoire. 'Inheritance' is her lucky 13th produced play! Switching gears a little this season, Elise has created the perfect and colorful balance of drama and comedy in 'An Awkward Inheritance,' a far stretch from her last few hit, dramatic plays, ("All Because of Infidelity," "Angels Among Us," and "The Answers to Apathy.") 'Inheritance' is based loosely on true events and actual locations inspired by Elise's 10 years of personal life experience having grown up as a teenager in northern Nevada, including being raised on a small horse ranch and attending school in the infamous and historical ghost town of Virginia City, Nevada. The new play is littered with fascinating, hilarious, and sometimes even heart breaking moments and perspectives of true life in a small town, home to larger than life characters.
