Description

The Actors’ Reading Collective presents 

the West Coast premiere of 

The Antipodes 

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 telling, cataloging, and theorizing stories. Are they brainstorming ideas 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. 

110 minutes, no intermission
