‘Roseanne’ star Laurie Metcalf heads to Broadway in Sharr White’s ‘The Other Place’
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Laurie Metcalf will be heading back to Broadway in the thriller “The Other Place.”
Manhattan Theatre Club announced Thursday that it will produce Sharr White’s play, which had its world premiere off-Broadway last year at MCC Theater.
Metcalf, an original member of Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theater, will reprise her role as a brilliant researcher stopped short by an unnamed neurological disease and the unraveling of her family. Tony Award winner Joe Mantello will direct, as he did at MCC.
Metcalf is currently in “Long Day’s Journey into Night” in London’s West End. Her other Broadway roles include “Brighton Beach Memoirs” and “November” opposite Nathan Lane.
She won three Emmy Awards for her role as Jackie Harris on “Roseanne” and her films include “Internal Affairs” and “Uncle Buck.”
