The world premiere of Antlia Pneumatica by Anne Washburn, officially opens April 4 at Playwrights Horizons. The new work, about a group of old friends reunited by the death of one of their own, began previews March 11and is directed by Ken Rus Schmoll.

“In a ranch house deep in Texas Hill Country, a once tight-knit group of friends reunites to bury one of their own,“ state production notes. “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 features scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Tyler Micoleau, sound design by Leah Gelpe and original music by Daniel Kluger. Production stage manager is Megan Schwartz Dickert.
