The play that changed my life: 'It was frightening at first but The Inheritance let me discover myself'

[Ho-Hum Dis]

I'm still in shock after reading about Paul Hilton's experience with 'The Inheritance' . I mean, losing your mom is never easy, but to find solace in a play that really speaks to you... it's just incredible . And the way Matthew López wove together E.M. Forster's life with his own story was pure genius .

I love how Hilton became so invested in Forster's world that he started exploring aspects of himself that he'd previously ignored or suppressed . It's like he found a piece of himself in this character . And I think what resonated with him the most was the connection he felt with the audience - it was almost like they were all participating in this communal experience together .

It just goes to show that theatre has the power to transform us, not just as entertainment, but also as a way to confront our innermost fears and find healing . I'm so grateful for Paul Hilton's bravery and willingness to share his story - it's truly inspiring .

just watched this play and it hit me so hard i think what resonated with me was how the protagonist emforster struggles to find his voice and identity in a world that's trying to silence him. its like when we're young and figuring out who we are, but also dealing with the weight of expectations from others. the play reminds us that our stories matter, no matter how hard it gets

I'm so glad Paul Hilton got to play both roles in "The Inheritance" - it's like he found his own voice and really connected with the story . The way Matthew López's script merged EM Forster's life with the fictional narrative was super deep and introspective, I felt like I was learning a lot about myself just watching it . And I love how Stephen Daldry's direction helped bring everything together - it's crazy that he had no preconceived notions of what he wanted when the script was first written . The fact that "The Inheritance" moved from London to NYC and still managed to resonate with audiences on a spiritual level is just mind-blowing . I think theatre has this amazing power to heal and help us find ourselves, and for me, playing along with "The Inheritance" was like discovering my own inner voice

I feel like I was right in the middle of this story, even though I wasn't . Losing a parent is such a tough experience, and it's amazing how 'The Inheritance' helped you connect with your emotions and find a new sense of purpose. It's crazy to think about how much emotional work Paul Hilton had to put into playing those roles - it's like he was tapping into his own struggles all over again .

I love that the play is so focused on exploration, it's not just some scripted storyline, but a journey for both the actor and the audience . It makes total sense why you felt such a spiritual connection with Forster - we all need those moments where we can be vulnerable and honest with ourselves. And I'm not surprised that Hilton said it was an 'extraordinary experience' because theatre has this magical ability to change us, even if it's just for the briefest moment .
