This phrase is not correct. 'Placed' is not commonly used in this context.

The word 'placed' does not fit well when describing the time setting of a play. It is better to use 'set' instead.

In the distance there, behind our reflections.
In the distance, you can see Lady Liberty raising her torch.
Off in the distance, we saw a charming little house.
And when your steps resounded in the distance...
In the distance, never think outside the city as hopelessly insane.
