The Antipodes
CRITICS PICK! "In-all-ways fabulous...Ms. Baker delivers a complete and confident narative...The Antipodes is also deeply funny, but it’s naturally funny, and if it’s a satire, it’s an organic one. This playwright doesn’t need to exaggerate to elicit what’s absurd in the human condition." - The New York Times
