Commissioned by Playwrights Horizons, ANTLIA PNEUMATICA is the fifth production of the theater company's 2015/2016 Season. 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.
The production will feature scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by two-time Obie Award winner Tyler Micoleau, sound design by Leah Gelpe and original music by Daniel Kluger.
