I first noticed images of actor Carson McCalley after reading about premiere of The Inheritance last year. The play by Matthew Lopez was originally inspired by E. M. Forster's novel Howards End. The play's focus was on a group of gay men in New York a generation after the AIDS epidemic. The play was staged in two parts of over three hours each, intended to be viewed sequentially.
Several actors from the London production, including actor John Benjamin Hickey, followed the show to Broadway with actress Lois Smith taking over Vanessa Redgrave's role of Margaret. Tony Goldwyn also took over John Benjamin Hickey role of Henry in January when Hickey left to direct another project.
Unfortunately, Hickey never got to return as the play's run ended this month. Although it was due to end in the middle of the month anyway, the cast lost out on their last few performances after Broadway, and all mass gatherings were recently banned in New York. The gorgeous McCalley played the young Henry in the play, and after reading about the play's closure, thought it a good time to shine the spotlight on the talented and beautiful McCalley.

I had actually hoped to see the play myself, and was hoping it might still be running if I was able to make a trip to NY in the summer. Given all that's going on, that doesn't seem likely, but fingers crossed my trip might still occur in the late Autumn or maybe early next year.
