"The Inheritance," an epic but intimate story of modern gay lives, was a big winner Sunday at British theater's Olivier Awards . Matthew Lopez's drama about young men in New York a generation after the AIDS crisis was named best new play at a ceremony in London. Lopez said he was "overwhelmed and overjoyed" by the trans-Atlantic success of his seven-hour epic, which had its world premiere last year at London's Young Vic Theatre. Laura Wade's "Home I'm Darling," about a 21st century couple trying to live a perfect 1950s life, was named best new comedy. A production of Tennessee Williams' "Summer and Smoke" was named best revival.
