Final year BA (Hons) Acting & Performance students from University for the Creative Arts (UCA) present The Antipodes by Annie Baker, the last in a season of contemporary plays running throughout 2024–2025.

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 asks what value stories have for a world in crisis. First seen at the Signature Theatre, New York,in 2017, the play had its UK premiere at the National Theatre, London, in 2019.

"A disquieting, dazzling piece… lingers long, long after its ending"

The Telegraph

"There is simply no playwright like Annie Baker… hyper real, surreally odd and extremely funny"

Metro

"Monstrously clever: a philosophical Fright Night… addresses [its] ideas with such witty, idiosyncratic strangeness, and such innate theatricality… spry, surprising, very funny, and likely to haunt the subconscious"
