Three-time Emmy Award winner and Tony Award nominee Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne, The Big Bang Theory, November, currently in Long Day's Journey into Night in London's West End, and a founding ensemble member of Steppenwolf Theatre Company) stars in MTC's Broadway-premiere production of The Other Place, a riveting new thriller by fast-rising playwright Sharr White and directed by 2-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Other Desert Cities, Wicked, Love! Valour! Compassion!).

The Other Place was nominated for two Outer Critics Circle Awards, a Drama League Award, and three Lucille Lortel Awards.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Other Place

Metcalf’s Wit Hides Ravaged Mind in ‘Other Place’: Review
7 / 10

Laurie Metcalf's performance as Juliana in 'The Other Place' has both sharpened and deepened since Sharr White's drama ran off-Broadway nearly two years ago. Given a second outing, now on Broadway under the wing of the Manhattan Theatre Club, the one-act drama still packs a formidable punch...but 'The Other Place' has lost some power in the interregnum. The most easily identified reason is a significant casting change: Where Dennis Boutsikaris was sharp, even severe as Ian, Daniel Stern is warm-and-fuzzier, less of a foil to Juliana...Like 'The Great God Pan' earlier this season, 'The Other Place' is yet another ambitious play that's maddeningly unfinished.

Theater review: ‘The Other Place’
8 / 10

The supporting cast is topnotch, including Daniel Stern as Juliana's beleaguered husband, Zoe Perry (Metcalf's real-life daughter), who plays a doctor and a bitter divorcee, and John Schiappa in a couple small roles. But it's really all about Juliana, a brittle individual who seems even tougher than she did during the first run. She's now caustic enough to come with a warning label. It's not a fluke, considering that Ian says to his wife: 'You know, what surprises me almost more than anything else is how cruel this thing has made you.' It's a harsh reality. And played by Metcalf, it hurts so good.
