Hailed by The New York Times as "blistering virtual production," The Humans tells the story of the Blakes, a middle-class American family celebrating a most unusual Thanksgiving. This year, they gather in New York City at youngest daughter Brigid’s Chinatown apartment - a basement duplex that would feel like a bargain if not for the lack of sunlight and the sudden, unexplained, loud noises coming from upstairs. Normally they celebrate in Scranton, but the break with tradition is just one of many disruptions with which they’re forced to contend. Stephen Karam’s brilliant play delivers both the warm comfort of family and a thoroughly modern anxiety about what’s on the other side of the wall.
Originally scheduled to run during the 2019-2020 Season, the physical production of The Humans was permanently shelved this summer when the COVID-19 pandemic would not relent. However, the decision was made to create a unique version of the family dramedy from quarantine, filmed with the actors in six different locations.
