In a ranch house deep in Texas Hill Country, a once tight-knit group of friends reunites to bury one of their own. But as they look backward through their lives, it becomes clear they’ve lost more than just their old pal. In this haunting new play from Anne Washburn, the boundaries between then and now grow disarmingly blurry as these estranged friends confront their slippery past.

“★★★★ Critic’s Pick. Antlia is a sheer joy, elegantly weird and wonderfully vivid with ghost stories and songs.”
— David Cote, Time Out New York“Anne Washburn’s eerie ‘Antlia Pneumatica’ is elegantly directed by Ken Rus Schmoll. Guessing at the surprise twist is part of the pleasure of the play.”
— Jacob Gallagher-Ross, Village Voice
“As she demonstrated in the thrilling Mr. Burns, Anne Washburn is a writer of questing imagination and convention-bending technique.”
— Ben Brantley, The New York Times
