The Heiress

A Drama of Misfortune

Suggested by the Henry James novel 'WASHINGTON SQUARE'
By RUTH GOETZ & AUGUSTUS GOETZ
Directed by DAVID LATHAM

When a woman loves a man ... she doesn't want to know the truth about him.

Based on the beloved novel "Washington Square", The Heiress is a dramatic theatrical production that has riveted theatregoers with its clashing themes of romance, betrayal, and obedience to authority.

Catherine Sloper is a plain, painfully shy woman whose tyrannical father makes no secret of his disappointment in her. She meets a charming - yet penniless - drifter named Morris Townsend, and her misfortunes appear to change. However, when her austere father learns of her plan to elope and escape his clutches, Catherine is forced to choose between the desires of her heart and the security of the family fortune.

Bitterly relentless and deeply compelling, The Heiress is an absorbing character study that explores the complete spectrum of the human condition.
