Theater review: TIME STANDS STILL

October 8, 2010

My review of Donald Margulies’s Time Stands Still has just been published on CultureVulture.net. I felt very differently about the play than did, say, Charles Isherwood in the New York Times.

“Margulies, who won a Pulitzer Prize for the 1998 yuppie drama Dinner with Friends, is a neat-and-tidy playwright. So, given the rough outline of the play, you can pretty much imagine the neat-and-tidy conflicts he invents for every combination of characters, the reversals, the outbursts, the rapprochements. It’s efficient, generic playwriting-by-numbers.”
