"The Heiress" has beautiful sets and lush costumes to help transport the audience to a different century. "We're also trying to create the world. The way they behaved. There is a certain reserve, elegance and confidence. Hopefully it'll be interesting for an audience to see because we don't get to see it too often," Going said.

An aging, shy daughter desperate for affection. A penniless and charming suitor. And a father who is still suffering both the loss of his wife and the fact that his daughter didn't become her.

All's fair is love and war.
