The Other Place
Pittsburgh City Paper: Early on, you can tell that Juliana has issues. She's abrasive, snarky and inconsistent. Her husband looks long-suffering. In conversation, people respond to her with pained restraint. Juliana is off-kilter, but we're not sure how or why, and, in truth, she doesn't know either. We spend most of the play in Juliana's head, but even her first-person narration doesn't always add up. The Other Place, by Sharr White, is like a Rubik's Cube of tragedy, and even though the colors of Juliana's psyche start to match up, the puzzle ultimately remains half-solved.
