Synopsis

Bleakly funny, The Place follows an unnamed, confused and unreliable narrator whose waking life is no more stable than his increasingly bizarre nightmares.

Desperate for certainty, he stumbles into wild theories about art, writing, religion, time and the nature of reality.

In his harrowing search for identity, he grapples with real and imaginary obstacles that force him to question the most hallowed conventions of a world that feels both alien and uncomfortably familiar.

His carers range from the invisible to the openly hostile, with a near-catastrophic love affair that adds a multitude of complications.

The Doc’s blunders, followed by a series of spectacular misunderstandings, result in the luckless narrator having to endure a catalogue of near catastrophes that threaten to spiral out of control.

Strange and sometimes unsettling, The Place explores the thin line between meaning and madness, and the unexpected truths that sometimes emerge from confusion.
