FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Other Place

Metcalf’s mesmerizing in a dark ‘Place’
7 / 10

The play is less riveting than it is reasonably engaging. It's not entirely new, either, having premiered downtown two years ago. As for the 'thriller' tag, let's just say the decorous Manhattan Theatre Club is behind this Broadway transfer, so don't expect fisticuffs.

Review: Laurie Metcalf shines in Broadway's 'The Other Place,' a smart gem of a play
8 / 10

The play - so buffed and polished it now seems to squeak - is matched by a searing, brilliant performance by Laurie Metcalf, who is simply astonishing as she goes from snippy, bossy scientist to a broken, confused intruder wolfing down Chinese food on the floor. Director Joe Mantello keeps up a blistering pace - snippets of scenes dissolve into another, past and present collide. Speed is important to keep the audience guessing, but it leaves no room for a moment's error. Mantello proves as sharp as the narrator is unreliable.
