Collaborative Arts Theatre presents the regional premiere of Donald Margulies' Time Stands Still. This critically acclaimed drama from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Dinner with Friends and Collected Stories recently finished a highly successful run on Broadway and was nominated for numerous Tony awards.

Alternating between comedy and drama, Time Stands Still follows Sarah and James, a photojournalist and a foreign correspondent who cover wars and world conflict and are now trying to find happiness in a "normal" world after Sarah is seriously injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the toughest stories and together, making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life... and everything changes - in a flash.

"Crackles with bright wit and intelligence and the range of feeling it explores is wide and deep." - New York Times

"Insightful writing, the work is smart, stylish, timely... inspires discussion after the curtain comes down - a rarity these days." - Associated Press  

 

Some adult language; Not recommended for children under 15.
