Time Stands Still
Donald Margulie
Awards & Recognition
Nominee: Two 2010 Tony Awards, including Best Play
Time Stands Still; A photojournalist is at home in Brooklyn recovering from serious wounds sustained whilst out covering war-torn Iraq, but longs for the adrenalin rush of her past.
"A solid play – taut and well-constructed, with hardly a single detail extraneous."
— Time Out New York
"Mr. Margulies is gifted at creating complex characters through wholly natural interaction, allowing the emotional layers, the long histories, the hidden kernels of conflict to emerge organically. Throughout, his dialogue crackles with bright wit and intelligence. Although Time Stands Still is deceptively modest, consisting of a handful of conversations among just four characters, the range of feeling it explores is wide and deep."
— The New York Times
"Donald Margulies’ Time Stands Still compellingly demonstrates what a master playwright can do with great economy and efficiency… a rare play that encompasses universal issues and personal problems with equal compassionate insight. A splendid theatrical experience culminates in the author’s taking no sides and providing no easy answers."
— Bloomberg
