The Humans
About The Humans
Stephen Karam’s The Humans is an uproarious, hopeful, and heartbreaking play that takes place over the course of a family dinner on Thanksgiving. Breaking with tradition, Erik Blake has brought his Pennsylvania family to celebrate and give thanks at his daughter’s apartment in Lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside the ramshackle pre-war duplex and eerie things start to go bump in the night, the Blake clan’s deepest fears and greatest follies are laid bare. Our modern age of anxiety is keenly observed with humor and compassion in this new American classic that won the 2016 Tony Award® for Best Play.
The cast features Emmy® winner and Tony® nominee Richard Thomas, Drama Desk Award winner Pamela Reed, Tony® winner Daisy Eagan, Lauren Klein, Therese Plaehn, and Luis Vega.
