From Booklist:
In the first, mid-to-late-'70s Humana festivals of new American plays, naturalist dramas got the most attention, and writers like Beth Henley with The Miss Firecracker Contest and Marsha Norman with 'Night, Mother were launched by it. As the number of venues for new work continues to shrink, Humana has taken upon itself to encourage experimental or, at least, nonconformist work. This year's festival featured absurdist work by David Ives, a lyrical fantasy by Charles L. Mee, and a series of short plays intended to be listened to in a phone booth. Even the more conventional pieces, such as Anne Bogart and Naomi Iizuka's Orson Welles play War of the Worlds , were unconventionally structured. There was still room for the odd realist play, like Stephen Belber's stoic little Tape, about a trio of old friends coming to grips with the past, but such plays were decidedly scarcer than in previous festivals. All the Humana 2000 plays, absurdist and naturalist, appear herein, along with biographical notes on their authors and cast lists of the Humana productions. Jack Helbig
