Time Stands Still
Starring Maria Knox, Brian Pucheu, John Bianchi and Mona
Leach
Through August 24, 2014
Two war correspondents, a writer and photographer, are
forced by injury to come home, heal, and figure out if that life is still theirs.
Donald Margulies has written an absorbing play, with interesting characters, in
Time Stands Still. Of course time
doesn’t stand still for anyone, but James and Sarah stand in a moment of
transition. ReACT Theatre is producing this play at the Ethnic Cultural Theater
in the U. District.
If casting is 75% of the effort, director David Hsieh cast well. Each of the four
players here is well positioned to perform each role. While opening night
turned out to be “first audience,” and therefore, the timing and rhythm of
performing to others wasn’t settled in, I’m certain that each will deepen into “the
pocket” in short order.
