A mysterious locked room, an awkward Tinder date, ethical dilemmas, the history of mankind. Secret Life of Humans gives us perspective on where we’ve come from, where we are now, and where we’re going. Inspired in part by Jacob Bronowski’s The Ascent of Man, David Byrne’s play asks us to ponder important questions. Is humanity continuing to ascend or did it veer off-track long ago? This play “sees theatre as a place to tell stories and interrogate myths; one where we can use our imaginations to make the future. Which may just save us.” The Guardian.

Produced by the Boston College Theatre Department

Directed by Patricia Riggin
