Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan (Proof) directs the play.
According to Geffen, "Time Stands Still focuses around a longtime couple and journalistic team — she a photographer, he a reporter — who return to New York from an extended stint in the war-torn Middle East. Sarah, a headstrong visionary, must negotiate re-entry into a domestic realm she no longer recognizes."
Gunn (TV's "Deadwood," "Breaking Bad"), who plays Sarah, has appeared in The Rehearsal on Broadway as well as Hysteria and Sir Peter Hall's production of Measure for Measure in Los Angeles. Harbour, who starred in Tom Stoppard's Coast of Utopia trilogy and garnered a Tony Award nomination for his role in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, plays James, "a foreign correspondent whose chaotic profession threatens his personal life."
"Complicating Sarah and James' re-adjustment to domestic life is the appearance of Sarah's one-time mentor and editor Richard," played by television veteran Robin Thomas ("Damages," "Murphy Brown"), "and his new, much younger, and 'very hot' girlfriend, Mandy," played by Golden Globe nominee Alicia Silverstone ("Miss Match," "Clueless") who is returning to the Geffen stage for the third time (Boston Marriage, Speed-the-Plow).
