Time Stands Still back on Broadway

Time Stands Still stars three time Academy Award® nominee Laura Linney, two time Tony® nominee Brian d’Arcy James, Drama Desk Award winner Eric Bogosian and Golden Globe and Emmy® nominee Christina Ricci. Tony® winner Daniel Sullivan directs.

Performances of Donald Margulies’ Tony nominated play are taking place at the Cort Theatre. You can buy tickets here.

Time Stands Still follows 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…and everything changes—in a flash.

Time Stands Still opens January 28, 2010

'Time Stands Still', the new play by Donald Margulies, marks Eric Bogosian's debut as a Broadway actor. The show opens at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theater January 28, 2010. You can buy tickets from the Manhattan Theater Club website.

SubUrbia - revised edition

A new revised edition of Eric Bogosian's play 'SubUrbia' has been published by TCG. This is the version performed in the Second Stage revival in 2006 and is therefore the most current version. You can buy copies from the TCG website.

Time Stands Still

Eric Bogosian has joined the cast of 'Time Stands Still', a new play by Donald Margulies ('Dinner With Friends'). The role marks Bogosian's debut as a Broadway actor. His 1987 play 'Talk Radio' was produced on Broadway in 2007.

Bogosian will play a photo editor who works with a war photographer played by Laura Linney. Brian D'Arcy James and Alicia Silverstone will also star in the production about two journalists forced to return from war zones to their home in New York.

Daniel Sullivan ('Proof') is directing the show; previews begin at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theater on January 5, 2010 ahead of a January 28, 2010 opening.

The Pictures Generation: 1974-1984

A reminder that this show, which explores the downtown art movement of fledgling artists that came of age in the early 70s, is at The Met until August 2, 2009. Eric's early solo shows began as a response to/dialogue with some of this work; his first performances were modeled on the idea of "snapshots" of various characters and individuals.

As part of this exhibit, a few of Eric's first recordings will be screening daily at the following times:

• 2:22pm - The Ricky Paul Show
• 2:52pm - On The Air/Voices of America
• 3:11pm Men Inside

For more information, visit The Met's Special Exhibitions page. You can hear Eric discuss this exhibition briefly in the following interview with Victoria Lautman.

New novel 'Perforated Heart' out now

Playwright and actor Bogosian presents in his Rothian third novel the diaries of a once-prominent author embittered by his declining fame. The diary of Richard Morris begins with the writer losing a major award to a lesser talent, his latest book a failure and his agent busying himself with more marketable clients. Death and the prospect of being forgotten hound him, and heart surgery leaves him with a metaphorically convenient scar.

Housebound while recovering from the operation and hiding from the affections of his young girlfriend, Richard becomes engrossed in his diaries of 30 years earlier, when he was new to New York City. While these notebooks “reveal what a total idiot” the young writer was, the elder Richard fails to notice how very little has changed.

Richard remains a man who mistakes self-destruction for authenticity and is utterly incapable of seeing himself as others see him—which is aggravated when his literary fortunes take a welcome, belated turn and faces from his past show up in the present. Richard is a grade-A bastard, and his rise and fall and rise again exemplifies the often arbitrary and opportunistic machinery of the literary world and operators within it.

The book is out now! You can order Perforated Heart at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

Also, check out the dates for the Bogosian Perforated Heart Tour which will be making stops in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago and Boston during May 2009!
