Humana Festival 2009: The Complete Plays brings together all ten
scripts from the 2009 Humana Festival of New American Plays, the 33rd
annual cycle of world premiere productions staged at Actors Theatre of
Louisville. The seven full-length plays and three ten-minute plays
represent an exceptional array of work by some of the most exciting new
voices in American theater, from a mother-daughter comedy with a lethal
twist (On The Porch One Crisp Spring Morning), to a family drama about
a bullying patriarch on the verge of unveiling his biography
(Absalom), to a gripping drama about three strangers confined to a
hotel room (The Hard Weather Boating Party). This unique compilation
is a must-have for any theater aficionado's bookshelf.
