The Other Place

In Sharr White’s play, Juliana Smithton (Laurie Metcalf) is a research scientist fearing a diagnosis of the brain cancer that killed her father and grandmother. But just as we settle in to this familiar disease play scenario, White adroitly flips the script and we must question everything we’ve come to believe about character and plot.
