PR: RED TURNIP Caps Their 2nd Season with Time Stands Still

Fresh off the critical success of the Pulitzer Prize winner Rabbit Hole, Red Turnip is capping off its 2nd season with another heralded play from Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Donald Marguilles, Time Stands Still.

The Turnips

Time Stands Still is the story of Sarah, a photojournalist who must return home with her journalist boyfriend James after sustaining injuries from war-torn Middle East.  The play follows their love story as they negotiate a more ordinary life, far from the thrills of a battleground.  Yet the comforts of urban domesticity - the simple pleasures and small compromises - can be a minefield of its own.

Time Stands Still was a hit when it premiered on Broadway in 2009 and was brought back for a second run the very same year.  It also garnered two Tony nominations; Best Play and Best Performance by a Leading Actress for Laura Linney.

Ana Abad Santos and Nonie Buencamino headline the Manila premier as Sarah and James.  Joining them are Nor Domingo and Giannina Ocampo as the couple's longtime friend Richard and his much younger girlfriend Mandy.

The cast of Time Stands Still

Following up his successful directorial debut in Cock, Rem Zamora directs his second show for Red Turnip.  "I'm quite excited about this one because this time around, I will have an actual set", he quips.  "But seriously, it's a totally different script compared to Cock, it's powerful because it's so quiet."

Time Stands Still is set to open in Whitespace on January 30 and runs weekends until March 8, 2015.
