Broadway World offers high praise in light of the OC Premiere of Sharr White’s The Other Place.
“Intense”
“Juliana is played with powerful, intense ferocity by Jacqueline Wright, in what will surely be noted as one of the season’s most memorable dramatic performances you will long remember this year.”
“Wright’s riveting, laudable performance—simultaneously juggling between cautiously subtle, passionately paranoid, pridefully self-assured, and, eventually, achingly heartbreaking—is a gripping, perfectly executed examination of the debilitating effects of mental trauma not only for the person who goes through it first-hand, but for the people in her immediate periphery, whether they are close relations or casual acquaintances.”
“Hastings’s admirable performance as Ian easily earns both our suspect and our sympathy”
“Ahler’s multiple roles, however, are each distinctive and superbly portrayed”
“An intimate drama with enormous punch, THE OTHER PLACE—under the caring and sensitive direction of Matthew McCray—satisfies its audience by keeping us emotionally invested and constantly surprised”
“THE OTHER PLACE—in its entirety—is a satisfying slow burn, stoked, of course, by an intense lead performance by Wright that keeps you teetering uneasily at the edge of your seat. It is truly a gutsy and powerful performance supported by appropriately nuanced portrayals by her co-stars.”
“a moving, intriguing intimate drama”
