Synopsis
funny and thrilling new play....
‘There’s no planet like home’
When professor Andrew Martin has a mathematical breakthrough, an outsider from another world arrives to intervene before this discovery wreaks havoc on the universe. By forcing his way into Andrew’s life, alongside the professor’s wife and teenage son, this mysterious being confronts mankind’s wild contradictions, and questions what it means to love, to belong, and to be human.
Matt Smith (Doctor Who, House of the Dragon) stars in this dazzling new theatrical adventure by Jack Thorne (Adolescence, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), based on the novel by international bestselling author Matt Haig (Midnight Library, Reasons to Stay Alive) and directed by award-winning director Jeremy Herrin (Wolf Hall, Every Brilliant Thing).
A hugely entertaining, funny and touching new play, The Humans lays bare the beautiful absurdity of being alive and might just leave you seeing the world a little differently.
Strictly limited 13-week West End run from October 2027 at Theatre Royal Haymarket.
