According to a press release on ATC, Bill Pullman is replacing Daniel Stern as of February 5. Interesting casting, if you ask me.

I'd love to see the show again, with Pullman! I like this idea a lot!

I have tickets for that night so it should be an interesting experience.

Btw, does anyone think there's hope for a transfer for this play (a la Venus in Fur)?

I heard Laurie Metcalf doing a segment on NPR about a week ago and when asked about the possibility of extending she said they couldn't extend at the Friedman because of whatever MTC has coming in next. However, she did imply that there would not be any scheduling conflicts for her that would preclude a transfer to another theatre.

I ended up picking up a ticket for it that night based on the interview and really enjoyed. She is giving a phenomenal performance.

I look forward to seeing this show again and it's a treat to be able to see Bill Pullman!

Apparently The Other Place has been extended until March 3, and the dates for The Assembled Parties, which was to go into the Friedman, have been pushed back a bit. It's an extension, but not much of one.

I hope (for the financial sake of the production) that they don't transfer it commercially. It won't sell. VENUS IN FUR didn't recoup (did it?), TIME STANDS STILL didn't, and neither will THE OTHER PLACE.

Good as it is, and it's very good, I hope MTC and the team behind THE OTHER PLACE can be happy with (what seems like will be) a well-sold run at the Friedman.
