The Humans

Show Information

Erik Blake brings his Pennsylvania-based family to New York City to celebrate Thanksgiving at the new apartment of his younger daughter, Brigid, and her boyfriend, Richard. As night falls outside, the family gathers for dinner. What begins as a standard holiday reunion slowly unravels as underlying tensions, financial anxieties, health struggles, and deep-seated fears come to the surface. Meanwhile, unsettling, mysterious noises (“bumps in the night”) echo through the aging duplex, giving the realistic family drama a subtle, eerie tone reminiscent of a psychological thriller.

Recommended for mature audiences.

The Humans contains strong language, discussions of mental health, depression, illness, death, and financial hardship. The production also includes sudden loud noises and unsettling sound effects.

Estimated Runtime: 1 hour and 40-minutes
