Three people – Indigenous, immigrant, and settler – journey over dangerous terrain in a race against time, and each other, to gain control of a vast parcel of land. YOU decide how events unfold, ultimately determining how the land is stewarded, and by whom.
 
An urban couple are on a getaway to visit her father at his vast rural estate. But when they arrive, they find him missing and a local Indigenous man staying there instead. They ask him to leave . . . and with a click on your device, you choose what happens next.
 
When it’s revealed that the colonial rights to this entire property are actually up for grabs, you must continue to decide how the story unfolds.

Inheritance is an interactive audio-drama specially adapted from the award-winning and published stage play, replete with all of the same humour and suspense as the live production. With over fifty possible variations, it’s unlike any journey you’ve been on before. The choices you make along the way give you the power to pick your path and, ultimately, decide the fate of these three people and the piece of land they’re vying for.
Darrell Dennis is a playwright, broadcaster, actor and comedian. His one-man show Tales of an Urban Indian was nominated for two Dora Awards and was produced for multiple tours across North America. His feature film adaptation of Tales was one of thirteen international screenplays accepted to the Sundance Screenwriters Lab. He is also known for his role in two CBC TV series; he played Frank Fencepost on The Rez, and Brian Potter on Northwood. Dennis also co-wrote and hosted the groundbreaking CBC Radio program Revision Quest, which ran for four seasons and won the prestigious New York Festival Award. As a comedian, he has performed in televised galas at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and the Just For Laughs Festival. Dennis currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
