Bergen County Players To Present TIME STANDS STILL

Bergen County Players (BCP) continues
its 84th season with Time Stands Still, Donald Margulies' riveting
drama, opening February 18th, 2017. The play is directed by veteran
director Ray Yucis, and will run through March 11, 2017 at the Little

TIME STANDS STILL focuses on Sarah and James, a photojournalist and a
foreign correspondent trying to find happiness in a world that seems
to have gone crazy. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the
toughest stories, and together, making a difference. But when their
own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the
prospect of a more conventional life. Can they stay together amidst
unspoken betrayals and conflicting ideals? What is their role in
covering atrocities but taking no action to stop them? Nominated for
both a Tony and Outer Critic Circles Award as Best Play of 2010, this
play "is handily Donald Margulies's finest play since the Pulitzer
Prize-winning "Dinner With Friends." NY TIMES. Audiences may recall

nominated play, also written by Donald Margulies and also directed by
