Vienna's English Theatre Presents TIME STANDS STILL, Jan.30-March 10January 16, 2012Die Fotojournalistin Sarah Goodwin kehrt verwundet aus dem Irak in ihr Loft in Brooklyn zuruck. Ihre Verletzungen - ein Bein und einen Arm kann sie kaum bewegen und ihr Gesicht ist von Schrapnellnarben gezeichnet - sind noch nicht verheilt. Ihr Lebensgefahrte, James Dodd, selbst Journalist und Auslandskorrespondent, kummert sich fursorglich um sie. Doch hinter seiner Rolle als aufopfernder Partner, blitzt das schlechte Gewissen auf, denn er hat Sarah allein im Irak zuruckgelassen. Die beiden erwarten den gemeinsamen Freund und Sarahs Mentor, Richard, zu Besuch. Im Schlepptau hat dieser seine neue Freundin Mandy - blutjung, naiv und „scharf", wie James bald unverblumt bemerkt. Die Eventplanerin, von Natur aus „dauerbegeistert" und kindlich wohlwollend, wirkt neben den beiden zynischen und vom Leben schwer gezeichneten Journalisten vollig deplaziert, was ihr sehr wohl bewusst ist. Sarah, die vor etwa zwanzig Jahren als Praktikantin selbst eine Affare mit Richard hatte, ist vollig vor den Kopf gestoßen, und versucht dies in ihrem leicht reizbaren Zustand auch nicht wirklich zu verbergen. Doch Mandy bleibt nicht der einzige Reibepunkt an diesem Tag, schnell eskaliert das Treffen und lasst zahlreiche ungeloste Konflikte zum Vorschein treten.
