A young man and woman are held prisoner by three captors speaking a language never before heard and given to abusing their power through mind control and torture. When a third victim is driven to suicide, Sam and Killy plot their escape, enlisting the oldest, and weakest, of their wardens. The question in this provocative and inspiring and bracingly witty full-length play, is who the humans are and how we treat one another, and other species. From its first LA reading 30 years ago, featuring Ray Liotta, through the college course Ernest used it in teaching, to the upcoming Boston workshop, HUMAN BEINGS continues to evolve as our society does the opposite.
