The Other Place extends run by one week

Manhattan Theatre Club have announced that their Broadway premiere of Sharr White's The Other Place, directed by Joe Mantello, and starring Laurie Metcalf, has extended its run by one week and will now play through to 3 Mar 2013.

The Other Place opened at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on 10 Jan 2013, following previews from 11 Dec 2012, and was originally scheduled to close on 24 Feb 2013.

Due to the show's extension, The Assembled Parties, Manhattan Theatre Club's next production at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, will now preview from 21 Mar 2013, and not the 19 Mar as originally scheduled. The Assembled Parties will still open on 17 Apr 2013 as first announced.

The Other Place opened to mostly excellent reviews: Pretty close to heartbreaking (NY Times); Bracing production (NYP); Bold, unflinching, and ingeniously constructed, ...not to be missed (Back Stage); Destination theater (NY1).

The cast features three-time Emmy Award winner and Tony nominee Laurie Metcalf as 'Juliana Smithton,' Metcalf's daughter Zoe Perry as 'The Woman,' Daniel Stern (Ian) and John Schiappa (The Man).

Laurie Metcalf and John Schiappa are reprising their roles from the show's world premiere off-Broadway production in 2011.

The Other Place: Juliana Smithton is a successful neurologist whose life seems to be coming unhinged. Her husband has filed for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older man and her own health is in jeopardy. Nothing is as it seems, and piece by piece a mystery unfolds as fact blurs with fiction, past collides with present and the elusive truth about Juliana boils to the surface.

The creative team features set design by Eugene Lee, costumes by David Zinn, lighting by Justin Townsend and sound by Fitz Patton.

The Other Place had its world premiere in a MCC Theater production which opened at Off-Broadway's Lucille Lortel Theatre on 28 Mar 2011 where it played an extended run, closing on 1 May 2011. The show was nominated for two Outer Critics Circle Awards, a Drama League Award, and three Lucille Lortel Awards. Metcalf won an Obie Award and a Lucille Lortel Award for her performance in the production.
