NOTES

1. A slash ( / ) means the character with the next line of dialogue begins his or her speech.

2. Dialogue in brackets [ ] is expressed nonverbally.

3. The Humans takes place in one real-time scene—on a two-level, four-room set—with no blackouts. Life continues in all spaces at all times. While this is difficult to render on the page, the noting of “UPSTAIRS” v. “DOWNSTAIRS” is a reminder of the exposed “dollhouse” view the audience has at all times. Throughout the journey, the audience’s focus may wander into whichever room it chooses.
