Francis Guinan, Sally Murpy, Randall Newsome and Kristina Valada-Viars will star in the Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s production of Time Stands Still by Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies. Performances will run January 19 through May 13, 2012 at Steppenwolf Upstairs Theatre. Austin Pendleton will direct.

Time Stands Still is a witty, intelligent look at what happens when ordinary life is refracted through the lens of war. When Sarah Goodwin barely survives a bomb blast in Iraq, she’s forced to return home into the care of her long-time lover, James. She’s caught off-guard by James’s desire for family and by the simple domestic life pursued by Richard, her editor, and his much younger girlfriend, Mandy. Pressed to consider settling into a “normal” life, Sarah must confront her addiction to the drama and chaos of war.

The production team includes Walt Spangler (scenic design), Rachel Anne Healy (costume design), Keith Parham (lighting design) and Josh Schmidt (original music and sound design).
