  3. The Humans


Breaking with tradition, Erik Blake has brought his family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s apartment. As darkness falls outside the ramshackle pre-war duplex and eerie things start to go bump in the night, family tensions reach a boiling point?…?and the hilarity and horrors of the Blake clan are exposed. Hailed as a new American classic, this haunting play encapsulates what we all dread most about the holidays and the pressure to present our best selves to those who mean the most to us.
