About The Other Place
See Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon) star in a new play that The Telegraph calls "true sucker punch theater." Written and directed by Alexander Zeldin after a hit London run, The Other Place puts a fresh, modern spin on the ancient Greek tragedy of Antigone, following one family’s battle through loss and what follows.
On the anniversary of their father's death two estranged sisters reunite with each other and their uncle (Emmy winner Tobias Menzies), who just wants peace and a fresh start. But one sister demands justice for the pain she holds, throwing them all into turmoil. Guilt, grief, and greed arise as the family goes to war over dreams of their future and visions of their past.
