REPERTORY PRODUCTION
“The Voysey Inheritance” Being Played In Wellington The action of Harley Granville-Bar-ker’s ‘‘The Voysey Inheritance,” which was presented again by the Wellington Repertory Theatre in the concert chamber of the Town Hall, Wellington, last night rises from old Voysey, the “intensely respectable” family solicitor, living by gambling with big clients’ money. Then he dies, and his son and partner, Edward, has to reveal to the family the nature of the “Voysey inheritance.” The eccentricities of the different members of the family, the clashing of temperaments, their various viewpoints, and their, priceless, unconscious humour, combine to make the play a memorable one. Indeed, as a delicate picture of manners and a profound study of character, it has, perhaps, never been surpassed. “The Voysey Inheritance” will be presented tonight, and again tomorrow and Thursday nights.
