"What makes Shaking the Tree one of the gutsiest production companies in the city is Van Der Merwe's ability to look straight at enshrined notions about what theater can or should be and tell them to go to hell." -Bennett Campbell Ferguson, Willamette Week 

​"I have been gobsmacked by every Shaking the Tree production I've seen!" ~Patron

The Antipodes by Annie Baker
April 17th - May 16th 2020

More info & Tickets

The Antipodes is a play about people telling stories about telling stories.

​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
