'Time Stands Still' at Edison Valley Playhouse


Edison Valley Playhouse will host six weekend performances of "Time Stands Still," beginning May 9.

"Time Stands Still" is the story of real-life couple Sarah, a photograpger, and James, a writer, who work together as war correspondents. When a car bomb severely injures Sarah, she comes home to recuperate in the Brooklyn loft she and James share. It soon becomes clear that she is eager to return to where the action is, while he’s relieved to be away from the terror and bloodshed.

Meanwhile, their editor, Richard, drops by with his much-younger girlfriend, Mandy, a happy-go-lucky event planner who can’t understand why journalists simply record what they see rather than actively try to stop the violence.

Directed by Gina Shuster, "Time Stands Still" will run from May 9-18, with performances at 2014 at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays.

The original production of "Time Stands Still," by Donald Margulies, enjoyed an extended sold-out run at Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, and was nominated for two Tony Awards, including Best Play. This production stars Jill Mesonas, C.J. Nolan, Russell Ortiz and Tammy Owens.

Tickets cost $15 for adults, and $12 for students and senior citizens. Tickets are available online, or by calling the box office at (908) 755-4654.

Edison Valley Playhouse is located at 2196 Oak Tree Road, Edison.
