The Other Place

Two sisters reunite on the anniversary of the death of their father. Their uncle has remodelled their family home, in an attempt at a fresh start. But one sister’s sudden reappearance threatens to shatter this fragile idyll as she demands justice for the pain she carries.

Amid the debris and the new extension, guilt, grief and greed battle it out in the family’s competing dreams of their future. When we are faced with the suffering of others, even those closest to us, can we look away?

Alexander Zeldin (The Confessions; Faith, Hope and Charity) directs this new play based on Sophocles' tragedy Antigone, with music by Yannis Philippakis (Foals) and starring Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon), Tobias Menzies (Game of Thrones) and Nina Sosanya (Love Actually).

What the critics say

"Emma D’Arcy is riveting in this elegant, atmospheric take on Greek tragedy" ~ The Standard

"Bleak and bold reworking of the Antigone myth punchily performed by a formidable cast" ~ The Stage

"Grounded by two searing performances by Emma D’Arcy and Tobias Menzies, The Other Place does a simple thing in a sophisticated way... Their mutual pain becomes our pain, a resounding cry down the centuries, a vindication of theatre’s unique ability to make us feel." ~ WhatsOnStage
