NOTE: Because of sellout crowds we have added a MATINEE PERFORMANCE at 2pm Saturday, August 4. Lovely reviews already in -- "Whip-smart, superbly performed examination of storytelling. Stellar ensemble work from this entire company. Director Ken Webster has done a beautiful job keeping a show where the actors are anchored to the constraints of a meeting room alive and engaging. A superb evening of theatre that will make you laugh and give you plenty of food for thought long after the curtain call. The best kind of theatrical experience you can hope for. I highly recommend you catch this one."And check out this delightful teaser-trailer from the magic wand of videomaker Eric Graham:
"The Antipodes" by Annie Baker at Hyde Park Theatre from Eric Graham on Vimeo. The newest work from the playwright of HPT hits like John, The Flick, The Aliens, Circle Mirror Transformation, and Body Awareness --the "endlessly fascinating, deeply funny" The Antipodes.The New York Times wrote, "Just exactly how many kinds of stories are there, anyway? The tallies vary in 'The Antipodes,' Annie Baker’s in-all-ways fabulous new play about professional fabulators in pursuit of the ultimate yarn. Endlessly fascinating. Deeply funny. 'The Antipodes' leaves you glowing with a wondering satisfaction." The Antipodes is directed by Ken Webster and features Lowell Bartholomee, Tom Green, Anne Hulsman, Maria Latiolais, Saurabh Pradhan, Blake Robbins, Mical Trejo, Shanon Weaver, and Dave Yakubik.
