… keenly observed drama about the growing pains of adulthood.
- New York Times

From Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Donald Margulies comes the Australian premiere of the Tony Award nominated play, Time Stands Still at Darlinghurst Theatre from Friday, 30 March to Thursday, 22 April.

Directed by Kim Hardwick, Time Stand Stills follows the homecoming photojournalist Sarah Goodwin, played by Rebecca Rocheford Davies, after being injured in a car bombing.

The adrenalin of documenting the realities of war is addictive as Sarah and, her journalist partner James, Richard Sydenham know all too well. Together they have shared a passion for reporting on the world’s war zones. When their friend and photo editor Richard, Noel Hodda, pays a visit with his much younger girlfriend Mandy, Harriet Dyer, the reality of domesticity and conventional life come into focus.

“Time Stands Still is a fascinating exploration into relationships and Margulies’ writing is witty and intelligent. His characters speak to contemporary audiences and I’m excited to be bringing to life the role of Sarah, she is a powerful character – fierce and driven,” said Rebecca Rocheford Davies.

After living a heightened life of extremes and danger, Margulies’ quietly powerful play examines just how much is required of two people building a life together away from the distractions of war.

“Margulies powerful play encapsulates the duality of war and home front and explores the collective desire for purpose. The writing is masterful and we’re thrilled to be able to share this wonderful work for the first time in Australia,” said Director Kim Hardwick.

Finest new Broadway play of the year!
