The Other Place is the extraordinary new play inspired by Antigone from award-winning director Alexander Zeldin (The Confessions).

An acclaimed cast includes Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon), Alison Oliver (Saltburn), Tobias Menzies (Game of Thrones) and Nina Sosanya (Love Actually, Teachers, W1A, Last Tango in Halifax).

In the play, 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?

The Other Place played at the National Theatre from 27 September to 9 November 2024. There’s no current news about a London transfer for The Other Place but check back for details, or sign up for alerts.
