The Heiress

About the Show

Based on one of Henry James’ most memorable novels, Washington Square, this Tony Award-winning play examines the conflict between painfully shy Catherine Sloper and her stern, inflexible father. When she falls in love with a handsome suitor, her father threatens to disinherit her, convinced that the young man could only be interested in Catherine’s fortune. This dramatic and suspenseful play features one of the greatest female roles written for the stage.
