The Other Place extends by one week

MCC Theater world premiere of Sharr White's The Other Place, extends its run by one week and will now play through to 1 May 2011.

The drama opened at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on 28 Mar 2011, following previews from 11 Mar, and was originally scheduled to close on 24 Apr 2011.

The show opened to mostly excellent reviews: Extraordinary ... theatre (newyorktheatreguide); Tour de force (NY Post); Harrowing & moving (Back Stage); Metcalf's impassioned performance is amazing (Variety).

The cast stars Emmy Award winner Laurie Metcalf (Broadway's November, "Roseanne"), under the direction of Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (The Pride, Glengarry Glen Ross, Take Me Out), and also features Dennis Boutsikaris, Aya Cash and John Schiappa.

The Other Place: 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.

The Other Place was recently nominated for three 2011 Lucille Lortel Awards, including Outstanding Director (Mantello) and Outstanding Lead Actress (Metcalf).
