The Shed and the National Theatre, in association with A Zeldin Company, have announced that the North American premiere of The Other Place will run for a limited, four-week engagement, January 30-March 1, with an official opening on February 5, in the Griffin Theater at the Shed.

The Other Place brings its original UK cast from the 2024 run at the National Theatre to the Shed.

Written and directed by Alexander Zeldin (LOVE) and inspired by the story of Antigone, The Other Place is about two sisters who reunite at the family home after a period of estrangement to mark the anniversary of their father’s death.
