“[An] Inestimably Kind, Rich And Beautiful Play … Truly Remarkable & Exceptionally Moving” – Chicago Tribune
HIGH DRAMA. Named the ‘Best Play of 2016’ by every major publication including NPR & TimeOut New York, The Humans takes a hopeful, heartbreaking, and humorous look at the decline of the American middle class, and one family’s hopes and fears. Erik Blake has brought his family from Pennsylvania to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s new apartment in the city, but as darkness falls, mysterious things start to happen, and family tensions reach a boiling point. The Humans is Tony Award winning & Pulitzer Prize finalist that’s “As Entertaining As It Is Honest” (New York Times).
