An intimate, tense portrait of a New York family gathering for Thanksgiving, The Humans follows Erik, Deirdre, and their adult children as late-night worries, financial pressures, and hidden secrets surface around a creaking apartment table. Over one night, fragile bonds and uneasy memories collide, revealing how fear, love, and longing shape a modern American family. Stephen Karam’s adaptation is a dialogue-driven, character‑driven drama that lingers long after the last bite.
