ABOUT ABOUT

A Tony nominee for Best Play, Time Stands Still is a witty, intelligent examination of the power of war against the backdrop of the homefront. 

Sarah and James, a photographer and a journalist, share a passion for the adrenaline rush that comes from reporting stories in the world’s deadliest war zones.  When the realities of combat become too much for James, a rift begins to form between them.  After Sarah is wounded in a bomb blast in Iraq, she is forced to return home to James and the safety, and comparative boredom, of New York.  Her struggle to adapt to life in the States is contrasted with the life of her mentor, Richard, who is happily embarking on a more conventional path with a much younger woman.

Pressed to consider settling down in New York, Sarah must face her addiction to a life filled unpredictability and come to terms with the impossibility of remaining just a spectator on the homefront to the tragedies of war.

Time Stands Still  will be produced in Austin Playhouse's temporary theatre at Highland Mall. The South Entrance (by the Image clothing store) is closest to the theatre.

We do not recommend parking in the main lot off Airport Blvd. From the South entrance, proceed down the escalator and turn right. Austin Playhouse will be on your right by the water feature. Detailed directions are available on our website: http://austinplayhouse.com/season/tempfac.html
