Presse : Les critiques sont très bonnes:

"Blisteringly funny, bruisingly sad and altogether wonderful play." Charles Isherwood for New York Times

"In Stephen Karam’s beautifully wrought The Humans, even the small talk has larger echoes." Adam Feldman for Time Out New York

"Even if the Blakes can't quite keep all the harsh realities of life at bay, Karam's empathetic rendering of a family enduring setbacks leaves the audience hopeful that they will find strength in their love for one another." Jennifer Farrar for Associated Press

"Under Joe Mantello's impeccable direction, and in the hands of an exemplary six-member ensemble, the play builds on the ample promise of Karam's earlier works, confirming him as a uniquely probing investigator of the contemporary American psyche." David Rooney for Hollywood Reporter
