Bill Pullman is going into THE OTHER PLACE

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

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

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)?

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

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.

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.
