This year’s Humana Festival featured a seemingly endless parade of doom and gloom, says John Moore. “Two of the six plays address the apocalypse. Is there hope? A bit. The world ends only once… That playwrights are fearful is not new; they’ve been laden with it since 9/11. What makes this flawed but compelling 2007 collection different is that we seem to have settled into an acceptance that foreboding is now a lurking everyday reality.”
