The Inheritance writer Matthew López and director Jack Sain on their new play, Reverberation

Matthew López and Jack Sain (Photo: Geraint Lewis) Jack Sain: You wrote this play a decade ago while living in New York, way before The Inheritance. You’ve since updated it to reflect your move to London: what brought about this change? 

Matthew López: I think ultimately this is the one play of mine that is more specific to the characters and less specific to the place. I wanted to ensure that a British audience received this story with as few barriers between them and the characters as possible. The Inheritance would never work set in London, but this play felt like it would actually benefit from translating the action to roughly where it’s being received.
