THE ANTIQUITIES

Synopsis

At the Museum of Late Human Antiquities, the curators are fiercely committed to bringing a lost civilization to life again: What were humans really like? What did they wear, what did they eat, how did they die out? By casting us into the far future, Jordan Harrison’s new play gives us an uncanny view of the present moment, as we straddle the analog world that was and the post-human world to come.

A co-production with Playwrights Horizons and Goodman Theatre.

Presented at Playwrights Horizons.
