Juliana Smithton has spent her career unraveling the mysteries of the human mind. Now, the mystery is her own. At the peak of her professional life, and on the verge of a breakthrough that could change everything, a single inexplicable moment sets off a chain of events she can't explain, or escape. A face in the crowd. A cottage on the windswept shores of Cape Cod. Contradictory evidence and fragmented memories that refuse to add up.
The Other Place is a gripping mystery about memory, identity, and the terrifying space between what we know and what we only think we do. Sharr White's masterfully crafted play peels back layer after layer, daring you to find the truth... until the truth finds you.
