Welcome Letter

Welcome to Time Stands Still Chris Hedges was a foreign correspondent for fifteen years. In his book War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning, he recounts his time in war zones, writing: “War and conflict have marked most of my adult life... I have seen too much of violent death. I have tasted too much of my own fear. I have painful memories that lie buried most of the time. It is never easy when they surface.” The enduring attraction of war is this: even with its destruction and carnage, it gives us what we all long for in life. It gives us purpose, meaning, a reason for living. Only when we are in the midst of conflict does the shallowness and vapidness of our lives become apparent. Trivia dominates our conversations and increasingly our news. And war is an enticing elixir. It gives us resolve, a cause. It allows us to be noble. And those that have the least meaning in their lives... are all susceptible to war’s appeal. Having read Hedges’ book years ago, I felt its shimmer throughout my reception of Donald Margulies’ Time Stands Still. Hedges argues that war is a seduction: on a society in support of what he regards as our collective fiction of purpose; and on those individuals who engage directly in the conflict—combatants and correspondents alike. Time Stands Still sits at the center of our season, “Dispatches from the Homefront,” and the play succinctly captures the duality we are exploring and which Hedges articulates so clearly from his own experience as a war correspondent: what archetypal psychologist James Hillman calls “our terrible love of war.” In Margulies’ play, the central character, Sarah Goodwin, is a photojournalist who returns injured from her stint in Iraq. The play bears witness to her re-entry into her life in New York with her partner, James Dodd, himself a freelance journalist, and covers the first year of her life back in the States. Their relationship is balanced against the relationship of their friend and colleague, Richard Ehrlich, with his young girlfriend, Mandy Bloom.

The contrast is stark. Sarah is fierce, unforgiving, driven, independent. When Richard defends his relationship with Mandy, an event planner, by reminding Sarah, “You were young once, too, you know...” Sarah tartly replies, “I was never like that... There’s young and there’s... embryonic. This girl is a lightweight. She’s a lightweight, Richard.” Sarah finds herself impatient with Mandy’s naïve cheer and incredulous that Richard, her long-time friend and colleague, older than she, could be satisfied by a relationship with a woman he describes as “guileless,” “open,” and (perhaps most damningly), “hot!” He defies Sarah’s attempt to shame him, declaring, “Richard’s got himself a hot girlfriend! How do you like that? Now I’ll know what it’s like! I can die happy. Look: I love you and I’m glad you’re alive, but you know what? I don’t give a shit what you think.” I will resist outlining the outcome of the play’s narrative because there is much pleasure in discovering that as the play proceeds. Margulies has provided a wonderfully human story of the contrasting values around which the characters in his play construct their lives. What is impressive about his exploration of these characters is the surprising integrity he is able to grant to each of them. The play serves as a kind of wake-up call to each of us. What do we value? What does the hardship of the world demand of us in organizing our values? Is the simple happiness of love a naïve denial of the human cruelties that war makes so vivid? Is war itself a kind of addiction—a heightened state of being that produces an urgency against which contentment will always seem a trivial pursuit? I encourage you to explore Hedges’ book, War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning and James Hillman’s A Terrible Love of War. As Hillman says, “If we want war’s horror to be abated so that life may go on, it is necessary to understand and imagine. We humans are the species privileged in regard to understanding. Only we have the faculty and the scope for comprehending the planet’s quandaries.” Donald Margulies’ Time Stands Still is one such imagining. He makes personal this fundamental collision between the extremity and intensity of war the moment when time stands still through the photographic lens of Sarah’s camera and the life that must go on in the imperfect flow of our days. War and the homefront: our mutually defining realities and the crucible of our values.

Designed Cacophony An interview with Playwright Donald Margulies and Steppenwolf Artistic Producer Rebecca Rugg

“...writing plays, is all about finding the form of something.” —Donald Margulies

Rebecca Rugg: Donald, Steppenwolf is very honored to be doing your play Time Stands Still—it’s your first time with our company and we are thrilled about it. Can we start by talking about your training? I know that you went to school for visual art—and I have always thought that was an interesting part of your biography. Donald Margulies: I started life as a kid who could draw. I began to get some recognition as a child-artist (winning Scholastic magazine awards and such), and it seemed to define who I was and what I was going to be. So when it came time to apply for college, it seemed pretty much a foregone conclusion that I would go to art school. At the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, with its focus on drawing, painting and graphic design, there were few outlets for someone like me who also wanted to read and write. I decided to transfer to another school where I could try to spread my wings. I ended up going to Purchase College, which was devoted to performing and visual arts in addition to being strong in the humanities. While I earned a BFA in Visual Arts, I decided to try my hand at playwriting. I initiated a tutorial with the critic Julius Novick, who taught dramatic literature. He was an early champion of my writing and a mentor whose support had a completely transformative

effect on my life. He said, plainly, “You’re good at this. You should do this.” I was twenty years old. RR: How do you feel that your training in visual art shows up in your playwriting? DM: Viscerally, playwriting feels the same to me as when drawing was my primary outlet of creative expression. Drawing, like writing plays, is all about finding the form of something. RR: Turning to Time Stands Still, this is a play where one of the main characters is a photographer. DM: I’ve written about artists before (Jonathan Waxman, the painter in Sight Unseen) and I’ve written about writers (Eric Weiss in Brooklyn Boy, Ruth Steiner in Collected Stories). Sarah Goodwin in Time Stands Still is a photojournalist. And even Louis de Rougemont in Shipwrecked! An Entertainment is a fabulist, a storyteller. The role of the artist in society is something that has always fascinated me.

RR: Time Stands Still is in part about how journalists bear witness to violence. It has made me wonder, what is it, in your opinion, that a playwright bears witness to? DM: I think good writing of any kind must tell the truth. That is also true for photojournalists, and visual artists: they try to express or portray something as rigorously and truthfully as possible. RR: Discussions of your work often describe how you make “worlds clash,” which is my experience of your work absolutely. How is it that you make “worlds clash” inside of apartments and houses? DM: Ever since I was a kid, I found myself trying to make sense of the grown-up world. I think that I detected subtext from a very early age, that what was on the surface was not the whole story and was a clue to unraveling the mystery of family life. In The Loman Family Picnic, for instance, my alter-ego is an eleven-year-old boy who is both frightened and exhilarated by his discovery that Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman reflects his own family. His way to process that is to write a musical based on the play.

RR: Have you written a musical of Death of a Salesman? DM: I did in fact! That is absolutely autobiographical. I did write a musical parody called Willy! I used that in The Loman Family Picnic… I just stole from my elevenyear-old self. I don’t know if that answers your question about conflict but I think that domestic drama has always fascinated me. RR: Yes, I’m interested in why realism is your chosen aesthetic. DM: I’ve always been excited by seeing real life portrayed in art. There’s something exhilarating about verisimilitude. For instance, in Time Stands Still, there is a lot of overlapping dialogue. I am very specific about where the overlap should occur in dialogue, so that it is not simply cacophony, but a very designed cacophony. Even though it appears to be completely spontaneous. And seems like real life. RR: Where did you find your inspiration to write Time Stands Still? DM: The play came out of a particular time, I guess about four or five years ago, when I was waking up each morning to the clock radio NPR report of the latest car bombing in Iraq. It was like Groundhog Day. The reports of violence were daily and seemingly relentless. Often my plays come out of a “troubled place”—where there is something that I can’t get out of my head. An epidemic of divorce among my social circle prompted Dinner with Friends—at the root of this play, a miasma of war and violence.

RR: And yet, one of the things I love about the play is that it tells the story of violence in the context of what it means to return home from it, what it does to relationships and to people’s appetites. DM: I do think the play is ultimately a love story. The domestic, relationship drama is in the foreground—the backdrop is the very specific, high-stakes world of journalists who cover conflict. The stakes are enormous for these people, and good drama comes from high stakes.

“Often my plays come out of a ‘troubled place’ —where there is something that I can’t get out of my head.”

RR: You take us very far inside this world. DM: The women and men who put themselves in unimaginable situations to capture images and stories, as Sarah says, “to show the world,” aren’t simply doing it for the public good. Their courage is immense, to be sure, but there is an unmistakable kind of thirst for it as well. I think people in those situations would be the first to admit that. It is incredibly difficult to reintegrate oneself into the mundane, relative safety of domestic society after a steady diet of adrenalized, life or death experiences. RR: As much as soldiers, your play suggests to me. DM: Yes. Compared to war, domestic life pales. Life at home lacks drama and denies them a vital sense of purpose. Paradoxically, some people in this line of work find contentment only when they’re living on the edge. Incidentally, I think I should point out that Time Stands Still, like the people it portrays, is often very funny!

—Donald Margulies

Time Stands Still playwright Donald Margulies did not base his character Sarah Goodwin on any one photojournalist. He seems to have been inspired, however, by details from the actual experiences of female photographers in the field. As these brief profiles illustrate, women photojournalists have been in the thick of battle everywhere from Paris, 1944 to Libya, 2011.

Lee Miller actually started her photography career in front of the camera as a model in 1920s New York. In the 1930s, Miller moved to Paris where she worked with the Surrealists and began a tumultuous relationship with artist Man Ray. During this time she opened her own studio and started producing her own work. When the war started in 1939, Miller was in London living with her future husband Roland Penrose. She spent the early part of the war documenting the London Blitz and became accredited as a U.S. Army war correspondent. While working for British Vogue in 1944, Miller starting traveling with the Americans advancing into France twenty days after the D-Day invasion. She saw the Liberation of Paris, the fighting in Luxembourg and Alsace and the liberations of the concentration camps Buchenwald and Dachau. When she returned from the war, she covered fashion and celebrities for Vogue for two more years

before becoming pregnant and getting married. By 1956, Miller had given up photography and journalism. She packed up her cameras, never to touch them again. She lived the rest of her life on a farm in England with her husband, specializing in gourmet cooking. Her son, Antony Penrose, has been the posthumous champion of her work.

“Naturally I took pictures. What’s a girl supposed to do when a battle lands in her lap?” —Lee Miller to interviewer Ona Munson, 1946

“Compassion, that’s the word that comes to me. I think we were all looking to show what the war did to people—on both sides. Yes, we were very subjective. I don’t think, in a situation like that, you can be anything but subjective.” —Catherine Leroy to the San Francisco Chronicle, 2005

In 1966, at the age of 21, Catherine Leroy bought a one-way ticket to Laos. She traveled from her home in Paris with just a Leica M2 camera, one-hundred dollars and the knowledge of how to parachute. After receiving her press credentials, Leroy spent the next two years photographing the war in Vietnam. In 1968, Leroy was taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese, but was able to talk them into releasing her. As she was leaving the encampment, she had the audacity to ask if she could take a picture of her captors. The resulting photo of Viet Cong soldiers relaxing appeared on the cover of Life magazine. After the fall of Saigon, Leroy went on to cover conflicts in Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Somalia, Lebanon, Iran and Iraq. She ended her war photography career in 1982 after her experience covering the Siege of Beirut. She continued covering other stories until her death in 2006.

“I just shoot for the troops. I try to pack as much information and emotion as I can into one frame. I find that my biggest weakness is my biggest strength, and that is really getting in touch with my subjects. Most of the time, if they are suffering, so am I.” —Stacy Pearsall to PopPhoto.com

Staff Sgt. Stacy Pearsall, now retired from the U.S. Air Force, signed up to serve at the age of 17. In 2001, Pearsall was awarded a position in the elite and typically all-male 1st Combat Camera Squadron (COMCAM) and began her photography career. While in COMCAM, Pearsall traveled to more than 40 countries and took nearly half a million photographs. In 2007, during a combat tour of Iraq, Pearsall sustained a spinal injury when an IED went off near her jeep. She kept it quiet as she did not want to be perceived as a “weak woman” by her unit. After suffering two more injuries, one while saving the lives of several soldiers during an enemy ambush in Iraq, Pearsall was retired from the Air Force: her sustained injuries made her unable to carry around the 100+ pounds of gear she needed while on duty. During her last combat engagement, Pearsall received the Bronze Star Medal and a Commendation with Valor for her heroic actions under fire. She is one of only two women to win the National Press Photographers Association Military Photographer of the Year honor, and the only woman to have won it twice. Lynsey Addario began her photography career with no professional training in 1996 by working for the Buenos Aires Herald in Argentina. After a year, Addario started freelancing with the Associated Press. In 2001, she began covering the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Dedicated to highlighting conflict and humanitarian issues all over the world, Addario has since photographed conflicts in Lebanon, Darfur, the Congo and Haiti. While in Pakistan in 2009, Addario was in an automobile accident while returning from an assignment. Her collar bone was broken, another journalist was injured and the driver was killed. In March of 2011, Addario was one of four New York Times journalists who were kidnapped in Libya. She was threatened with death and sexually assaulted during her

captivity. Despite these experiences, upon her release, she vowed to go back into the field and continue telling stories as they happen on the ground.

“I am generally so focused on the story, and on producing good images, that I don’t get scared that often. I believe in fate and believe that when it’s time to go, I’m going to go. And I would rather have a camera in my hand when it’s that time.” —Lynsey Addario to journalist David McKay Wilson

How to Party in a Combat Zone By Artistic Apprentice Katherine Marshall

In his interview with Steppenwolf, playwright Donald Margulies suggests that combat photojournalists, like soldiers, struggle to reconcile everyday life with the dangers of their profession. Like the characters in Time Stands Still, the soldiers below have tried to bring a little domestic normalcy into a world defined by violence.

rap it u p DIY Warrant Officer 1 Brook Turner was accustomed to the lush greens of Hawaii and Oregon before being posted in Baghdad, Iraq. He purchased sod from the locals and despite the challenge of 125 degree heat, he maintained the appearance of a 3 x 7 foot yard. He cut the grass with scissors and watered the patch three times a day from five-gallon jugs. Turner’s yard provided a celebrated distraction from the war and endless sand surrounding him and his fellow soldiers.

The Middle East is the new front line… of the rap music industry. Soldiers are producing and distributing new music, some as a way to honor fallen soldiers. Like the Bronx-born variety, rap from soldiers deployed overseas can be provocative and controversial. U.S. Army Specialist Marc Hall, for example, was incarcerated and threatened with extradition back to Iraq to face a court martial after a violent rap song protesting the “stop-loss” policy was posted on his website. Under the controversial policy, soldiers who were scheduled to leave service were kept on active duty at the military’s discretion. After a brief stay in jail, Hall was discharged from the military. No matter the risks, these underground rappers are providing a compelling new outlet for the realities of war.

R ealiz i n g yo u r rac hae l It probably took more than Rachael Ray’s signature “30 minutes,” but Staff Sergeant Taylor and Sergeant Paulin still whipped up home cooked meals daily for their fellow troops. Before they arrived, the kitchen only served two meals a day. They both used their cooking know-how to serve three meals a day out of a mobile kitchen trailer. On Fridays, they would even cook made-to-order steaks. Despite the inconvenience of food in the bag ingredients, they produced consistently good meals one day at a time.

Bathtu b G i n A dedicated Marine—we’ll call him Gunnery Sergeant Everyman—saw action up Baghdad Highway in the very initial stages of the war and continued to return to Iraq for four more tours. Unlike previous military operations, alcohol was strictly prohibited on any of the military posts in Iraq out of respect for local customs. So, in the finest Marine Corps tradition, his wife back home adapted and overcame. Care packages are commonplace in-country, and customs was only cursorily inspecting them in order to get the packages to the troops quickly. Mrs. Everyman decided to take advantage of the situation. With a straight edge, the safety seals were removed on several bottles of mouthwash. Listerine morphed into Jim Beam, green fluoride rinse was replaced with vodka with food coloring and that bottle of plaque remover was transformed into cinnamon schnapps. Some two-sided tape secured the safety seals back in place and plastic bottles insured their safe transport. Every mail-call his fellow Marines would ask, “Hey Gunny, how’s that oral hygiene coming?” to see if the makeshift underground bar was open.

Support for Garage Rep and Next Up comes through the “Leading for the Future Initiative,” a program of the Nonprofit Finance Fund, funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.

The Steppenwolf ensemble first began performing in the mid-1970s in the basement of a Highland Park church, the ambitious brainchild of three high school and college friends: Jeff Perry, Terry Kinney and Gary Sinise. Fast forward 36 years and the Steppenwolf Theatre Company has become the nation’s premier ensemble theater—redefining the landscape of acting and performance. The ensemble has grown to 43 members who represent a remarkable generation of actors, directors and playwrights. Thrilling, powerful, groundbreaking productions from Balm in Gilead and The Grapes of Wrath to August: Osage County—and accolades that include the National Medal of Arts and nine Tony® Awards—have made the theatre legendary. Steppenwolf’s artistic force remains rooted in the original vision of its founders: an artist-driven theatre, whose vitality is defined by its sharp appetite for groundbreaking, innovative work. That work is represented in production photos displayed throughout the theatre.

APRIL 21 – JUNE 10, 2012 O’Neill’s monumental drama is an unparalleled theatrical journey, “as corrosive as rotgut whiskey, as morbidly funny as a funeral gone amok, as hallucinatory as an alcohol-fueled excursion into purgatory” (Chicago Sun-Times).

Steppenwolf Customer Service Tips Driving to the Theatre? Rather than arriving to discover that our garage has reached capacity (which can happen during busy performances), please enter the Steppenwolf Parking Hotline (312-335-1774) into your cell phone and call us when you’re a few minutes away from the theatre—we’ll tell you if there’s still space available in our facility, or suggest the most convenient alternative. Spending your intermission in line at the bar? Enjoy the entire break by ordering and paying for your intermission refreshments before the show. When you exit the theatre at the end of the first act, your drinks will be waiting for you. Need restaurant information or the score of the ballgame? Please visit our book shop and information desk at the south end of the main floor lobby.

Hailing a cab after the play? This is typically an easy affair—Halsted is a busy street and sees a fair amount of taxi traffic. If you’d like assistance hailing a cab or calling a company, though, just ask a member of the house staff; we’re happy to help. Lost or Found? On-site? Please check in with a member of the house staff. Already left? Call the Front of House office at 312-932-2445.
