description: One hundred years after the first publication of The Voysey Inheritance, David Mamet resurrects Harley Granville-Barkerâ€s classic investigation into the capitalist soul in this brilliant adaptation.For generations, the Voysey family business has been secretly skimming money from its clientsâ€ accounts. When Edward, designated to take over the firm from his aging father, discovers the embezzlement that has been keeping his relatives in a life of luxury, he must weigh the trappings of wealth and the imperative to preserve his familyâ€s good name against the better principles of his conscience. But moral righteousness turns to self-protection when he comes to understand fully the consequences of his â€œinheritance.â€
