The Voysey Inheritance

See a witty portrait of a family in the midst of a surprisingly modern moral dilemma, in this David Mamet adaptation, being featured at Nassau Community College. For generations, the Voysey family has been cheating its clients. Edward, a junior partner who plans to take over the company from his aging father, is horrified when he discovers the embezzlement that has been keeping his relatives in the lap of luxury.
