Emmy and Obie Award winner Laurie Metcalf (Jackie on the 90s TV show "Roseanne") plays Juliana Smithton in a show the New York Times says is "dominated by a compelling, at times scarily intense performance from Laurie Metcalf." Metcalf stars opposite Dennis Boutsikaris, who plays Juliana’s husband, Ian Smithton, as well as Aya Cash, and John Schiappa, known only as The Woman and The Man, respectively. Directed by Joe Mantello, and written by Sharr White, "The Other Place" is told from Juliana’s perspective, resulting in a jumbled, often fragmented, presentation of reality.
What does it mean when a biophysicist turned pharmaceutical pitchwoman becomes so confused during a presentation to doctors that she can’t even form simple sentences? For Juliana Smithton, it means she may be sinking into the depths of dissention. Following a potential breakthrough in neurological medicine, Smithton finds herself battling a mysterious illness, while also slogging through marriage troubles with her husband, Ian Smithton. This drama will have audiences asking: what’s going on with Juliana? See how Juliana copes with your own The Other Place tickets.
