Humana Festival 2019: The Complete Plays

Description:

The Humana Festival of New American Plays has been a leading home for extraordinary playwrights and their imaginations for more than four decades, making Actors Theatre of Louisville one of the nation’s preeminent powerhouses for new play development. For six weeks every spring, Louisville exerts a gravitational pull on producers and theatre lovers from around the country, who travel from far and wide for the adventure of seeing a diverse slate of fully-produced new plays. Many Humana Festival plays have gone on to garner awards and subsequent productions, making a sustained impact on the international dramatic repertoire.

Humana Festival 2019: The Complete Plays brings together all five scripts from the 43rd annual cycle of world premieres, featuring a remarkable array of work by some of the most exciting voices in the American theatre. This anthology makes the Humana Festival plays available to an even wider audience, allowing readers to experience the collision of perspectives, styles and stories that makes the festival such an invigorating celebration of the art form. This compilation features the full-length plays Everybody Black by Dave Harris; The Thin Place by Lucas Hnath; The Corpse Washer, adapted for the stage by Ismail Khalidi and Naomi Wallace, from the novel of the same name by Sinan Antoon; How to Defend Yourself by Liliana Padilla; and We’ve Come to Believe, a collaboratively-written play by three writers―Kara Lee Corthron, Emily Feldman, and Matthew Paul Olmos.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“New work may not be as rare as it once was in U.S. regional theatre, but one festival that has championed the form for almost half a century remains an essential launch pad for up-and-coming theatremakers. The Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville has just finished its 43rd year and stands as one of the longest running and most prestigious events in the U.S.” ―Howard Sherman, The Stage

“The 43rd annual Humana Festival of New American Plays asked its audiences to traverse boundaries with care, presence and daring. This provocation was thrilling, and the response it brought forth was formidable... Whether it’s the draw of a celebration with the country’s most incredible new voices, the chance to see excellent new work first, or the opportunity to engage with provocative panels...Humana sets the bar for what a new play festival can offer to its local and national community.” ―Kate Bergstrom, Santa Barbara Independent

“The Humana Festival is moving from strength to strength with an intriguing and adventurous mix of provocative plays from voices known and unknown.” ―Marty Rosen, Louisville Eccentric Observer

“While familiar stories...make up much of today’s theatrical landscape, Louisville’s Humana Festival of New American Plays offers something different: five brand-new works, impeccably produced and featuring top on- and off-stage talent. No wonder professionals and patrons from around the world attend each year.” ―Lou Harry, Indianapolis Monthly
