The Antipodes presented by Actors' Reading Collective
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.
