The Mayne Inheritance by Errol O'Neill

Description

A grisly murder, inherited madness, and a family in ruins. This is Errol O’Neill‘s Gothic Australian play The Mayne Inheritance.

SYNOPSIS

Patrick Mayne was a poor Irishman who emigrated to Australia in the first half of the twentieth century. Settling in Brisbane, he built his fortune as a butcher, landowner, and town councillor, and left an extraordinary legacy: a deathbed confession of murder that had a profound impact on the lives of his wife, his children and the colonial society he helped to build.

Inspired by the book The Mayne Inheritance by Rosamond Siemon, Errol O’Neill has crafted a taught psychological thriller that reverberates through several generations of the Mayne family and the society they generously supported.

PRODUCTION HISTORY

The Mayne Inheritance was first produced at La Boite Theatre Company in 2004.
