Time Stands Still (Acting Edition for Theater Productions)

Time Stands Still is timely, witty and deeply serious, moving, and challenging. With a background of a Mid-East war hovering over this Brooklyn loft, the play asks us to examine our own moral centers, both on the world stage and in our most intimate relationships: our responsibilities, our choices. Will we merely observe or will we act? This is the question faced by the central characters, one a photo-journalist, the other a war-zone writer. Will we look at what is painful - in the world and in our lives - or will we just change the channel, turn our heads? Perhaps Donald Margulies's finest play to date, Time Stands Still makes demands of us as and delivers, in return, a rich experience.

A Brilliant show. Donald Margulies is a genius. I can't say enough how I appreciate the intimacy of this piece. The way it's heart beats and grows and breaks and heals.Time Stands Still is one of those shows so perfect the way that it is that you just p r a y it will never be sold and adapted as a film.Perfect just the way it is. With inconvenient, imperfect characters. And loose ends untied.Human.

I was looking for a play to use with community theatre for upcoming seasons. I like Margulies' work and I also liked this play.We need plays that have only a few cast members and this would fit the bill. It is dramatic..becomes a bit preachy at times and doesn't have many chuckles. If you are looking for a serious play...this might fit the bill. Only four characters.

I teach acting and there are some good scenes in here for my students and it is always nice to use a new play by a good playwright.

Two thumbs up

This is a great little play. Some unexpected gender reversals that highlight interesting changes in our world. Don't want to spoil it...

good play

Beautiful script!This play is outstanding. It's poignant and pointed, a great read. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves theatre or current events.
