The Other Place - 2011 Off-Broadway History , Info & More

Music Box Theatre (Broadway)
239 West 45th St. New York, NY

Emmy Award winner Laurie Metcalf (November, Roseanne) teams with Tony Award winning director Joe Mantello (The Pride, Glengarry Glen Ross) to stage this new emotional thriller by fast-rising playwright Sharr White.

Just as Juliana Smithton's research leads to a potential breakthrough in Alzheimer treatment drugs, her life takes a disorienting turn. During a lecture to colleagues at an exclusive beach resort, she glimpses an enigmatic young woman in a yellow bikini amidst the crowd of business suits. One step at a time, a mystery unravels as contradictory evidence, blurred truth and fragmented memories collide in a cottage on the windswept shores of Cape Cod.
