Summary
“What does she want from me?” A young Iranian immigrant panics as she’s being chased through the streets by an unknown blonde woman. When their two worlds collide, the answer to that question becomes increasingly unsettling in Afsaneh Gray’s The Other Woman, a bracingly unpredictable audio experience. The two women find they share similar struggles in a society that doesn’t see them…but as their relationship develops, what feels like liberation begins to shift into an all-too-familiar dynamic. The Other Woman is an enthralling erotic thriller that explores cycles of power and exploitation all the way to its unsettling conclusion.
Playwright Afsaneh Gray was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible-commissioned playwright, she received funding and creative support to develop The Other Woman.
Directed by Elayce Ismail.
Sound design and original music by Melanie Wilson.

A brilliant, dark tale, compellingly told
This is a very compelling listen. Two seemingly disparate characters meet and get together with very disturbing consequences. The whole story is strange but strangely believable, with a very strong narrative which keeps you hooked right up to the end, which is dark indeed. And the sound design is really imaginative and atmospheric. Go listen!!

Brilliant, thought-provoking story
This is a deeply-disturbing story, beautifully written and acted, and full of humour, plot twists and more layers than a pensioner on a winter's day. I don't want to spoil it for you but it will definitely leave you thinking. Just listen!

So powerful - definitely give this a listen!
I loved this play. It is a really powerful, thought provoking, challenging piece. I’d love to see more work by Afsaneh Gray on Audible.

A bold and thrilling drama!
This drama has everything- an unusual but engaging storyline which pushed at the boundaries of audio drama. It’s so nice to hear something on Audible which you wouldn’t find in mainstream radio. Fabulous, truthful performances and a brilliant sound design. More from Afsaneh Gray please!

Good narration
Not great - the dramatic silences seemed to take more of the time than the story. Wasted an hour listening

disturbing
i'm not sure what i listened to, honestly...the story was overall very disturbing.
one of audible's original dramatised productions, regarding the audio production, it's nicely done...i am just not sure about this plot.
i'm just gonna call this a nanny story gone bad, a woman without a legal immigration status gets hired to assist in the house by a woman who does not wish to clean at any cost and likes being in charge, but everything takes absurd proportions.

The Other Woman
This was all kinds of messed up.
I'm not sure what the author was trying to say? Maybe I'm just a bit thick and need the motivation/inspiration/message explained to me 🤷
Maybe then I might appreciate it more.
As it stands though it just seems like some 2 dimensional characters did stereotypical things, until things inexplicably went loopy and dark.
What even is the husband? His entire character annoyed me the most out of everything because he was such a cartoon.
