The Playwright of The Other Place, Sharr White describes the main character on Broadway.com :

“A particular feature of the very smart people in my life is that they think their sheer intelligence can protect them from all manner of harm. It’s a beautiful, yet very vulnerable form of arrogance…

When we first meet her, Juliana, the protagonist (or is she the antagonist?) in my play The Other Place, is the embodiment of this fragile arrogance of intelligence. She is by any measure one of the smartest people on earth: witty, sharp, sexy, aggressive and self-assured. And yet because so much of herself hinges on her estimation of her great mind, she also exists in a terrible state of vulnerability.”

The Other Place allows us to intimately view important events that Juliana navigates in her personal way. We ride along with her as she pieces together parts of her life in sheer dramatic form with the aid of Dr. Teller and her husband, Ian. As Juliana’s situation unfolds, the audience will be piecing together the story as it progresses and be left with much food for thought. Sharr White has a natural way with dialogue and great insight into complicated relationships. In the end, we see how growth and understanding lie in vulnerability.
