Time Stands Still, by Donald Margulies, premiered at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles in 2009, began a run on Broadway in Jan. 2010, and then re-opened in October to play through Jan. 2011. The play was nominated for a 2010 Tony Award for Best Play, losing to Red by John Logan.
'"Time Stands Still" is not a political play, or at least not intentionally, anyway. It questions, among many other things, how we represent and digest unimaginable events, whether in photography, in writing, or in popular culture.'
Q&A with Donald Margulies
New York Times review (and video)
'As this domestic drama unspools, intriguing questions come up. Are war journalists saintly or self-serving? Are global conflicts everyone's problem? Is being a mom less important than having a career for a woman? Since no theme emerges as dominant, the show becomes diffuse. It's as though a photographer shot pictures with several lenses on her camera at once. What kind of single image would that make?'
