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.
