By Annie Baker
Directed by Alyson Schacherer
A play about people telling stories about telling stories.
In Annie Baker’s The Antipodes, a group of people sit around a table for a TV show? A film? A mythology? This is a world where ghostly fables co-exist with mundane discussions of snacks and sexual exploits, where the vague instruction to tell stories about “something monstrous” (though “it might not be a literal monster”) becomes maddeningly impossible. Part satire, part sacred rite, The Antipodes asks what value stories have for a world in crisis.
