A group of people sit around a table theorising, categorising and telling stories. Their real purpose is never quite clear, but they continue on, searching for the monstrous.
Part satire, part sacred rite, Annie Baker's play The Antipodes asks what value stories have for a world in crisis. First seen at Signature Theatre, New York, in 2017, the play had its UK premiere at the National Theatre, London, in 2019.
'The most original and significant American dramatist since August Wilson' Mark Lawson, The Guardian
Annie Baker's other plays include the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Flick, John, Circle Mirror Transformation, The Aliens and an adaptation of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya. She has won many other awards, including Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellowships.
