Time Stands Still

Believe me, it was really difficult to refrain from joking around the title of Donald Margulies' new play, Time Stands Still (reviewed today). In a reverse of the usual process, I wish Manhattan Theater Club would pick better material for the usually excellent casts it assembles — and here we have no less than Laura Linney, Brian d'Arcy James, Eric Bogosian and Alicia Silverstone (who more than holds her own).
