    Time Stands Still
    Lyric Stage Company of Boston
    140 Clarendon Street
    Boston, MA
    7:30 PM

    Widely hailed as one of the best new plays on Broadway, Time Stands Still is the story of Sarah and James, a photojournalist and foreign correspondent, who are reeling after their recent brush with death while on an assignment. Will their relationship of nearly a decade be more threatened by a traditional go at domesticity than the roadside bombs of Baghdad?

     

    Breaking Free of Chains
    Boston Philharmonic
    Sanders Theatre
    45 Quincy Street
    Cambridge, MA
    7:30 PM

    The Philharmonic returns to Lutosławski this year with his astonishing Concerto for Cello and Orchestra. Like a play without words it dramatizes the dilemma of the individual trapped in a repressive social system- in this case Soviet-dominated Poland- struggling to find his own voice and make it heard. The great English cellist Alexander Baillie has performed this work frequently and with unnerving passion; he is regarded as one of the work's leading exponents since the death of Rostropovich, for whom it was written. Performances of this work are rare, riveting and unforgettable experiences.

     

    Il Matrimonio Segreto
    Boston University College of Fine Arts
    Boston University Theatre, Mainstage
    264 Huntington Avenue
    Boston, MA
    7:30 PM

    This farcical domestic comedy features arranged marriages, dowries, feuding sisters, tangled circumstances, banishment to convents, and misdirected romantic aspirations. Inspired in part by Hogarth's painting series "Marriage-a-la-Mode," it lives as a musical bridge between Mozart and Rossini, with lyrical melodies and brilliant, challenging ensembles.

    Execution of Justice
    Boston University College of Fine Arts
    Virginia Wimberly Theatre, BCA
    527 Tremont Street
    Boston, MA
    7:30 PM

    A brilliant portrayal of the Dan White trial after the 1978 assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and gay city supervisor Harvey Milk of San Francisco. Mann tells the story in a provocative and multilayered way, offering as many questions as answers about a tragic chapter in the city's transition to its current political and social climate.

    Time of My Life by Alan Ayckbourn
    Zeitgeist Stage Company
    BCA Plaza Black Box Theatre
    527 Tremont Street
    Boston, MA
    7:30 PM

    Ayckbourn's Time of My Life revolves around a family dinner at their favorite restaurant organized by successful businessman Gerry Stratton to celebrate his wife Laura's 54th birthday. Their grown sons are also present with their significant others. It is after the dinner breaks up that Ayckbourn's real genius becomes apparent as the play takes off in three different directions simultaneously. The parents remain in present time, disclosing secrets and redefining their relationship. The oldest son's story moves forward in time over the course of two years, exposing a troubled marriage and the failure of the family business. The youngest son's story moves backwards in time, revealing the beginnings of a new relationship. By juxtaposing events from the past, present, and future concurrently, Ayckbourn reveals the entire spectrum of the family experience associated with that life-changing dinner party.
