REVIEWS:

CRITIC'S PICK! "Endlessly fascinating [...] in-all-ways-fabulous [...] The Antipodes leaves you glowing with a wondering satisfaction. I mean the happy satiety that comes from being in the hands of a real right-brain/left-brain author who channels her ineffable instincts with a master artisan's practical skills [...] Ms. Baker has established herself as one of the freshest voices in American theater."

 The New York Times

"An intensely vivid hypnotizing act disguised as a play."

 Time Out New York

"Tantalizing [...] In John, a play sat in a quaintly eerie bed and breakfast, Baker flirted with occult suspense. Here, in a drama confined to a fluorescent room [...] she edges into symbolist territory. Baker's signature hyper-realism makes room for an irrational dimension that lightly evokes the supernatural enigmas of Maurice Maeterlinck and August Strindberg."

 Los Angeles Times

Premiere Production: The Antipodes premiered at the Signature Theatre in New York City in April 2017 under the direction of Lila Neugebauer.
