Falling Out of Time

Theater J

After losing his son in the Israel-Lebanon conflict of 2006, David Grossman wrote this stunning masterpiece.

In this incandescent fable, a grief-stricken man takes leave of his bewildered wife to embark on a beautiful and poetic journey that will change him forever. This astonishing and one-of-a-kind theatrical experience promises to be the season's most moving event.

Washington Post - Somewhat Recommended

"...Even amid such heart-on-the-sleeve theatrics, the cast maintains an impressively dignified, even truthful tone. Underscored by composer and sound designer Eric Shimelonis's melancholy bass and cello music, the nine performers speak their lines with gravity and soul. It's an asset that isn't always well-framed in such a busy and peculiar show."

"...Adapted and directed by Derek Goldman, “Falling into Time” is beautifully written, and it has the same power that some poems do, which is to make certain moments unforgettable. But it needs to be a play to truly complete the circle that it’s created."

"...Transcendent themes of time and motion abound in this performance, tight as a paracord, then are lifted away on gossamer wings. Is the journey the real ending? It's a challenge, but every few minutes one gets that 'wow' feeling. A few short poignant phrases, or a moving monologue that stops you in your tracks or simply puts a lump in your throat."

"...Passing time is painful. So what could be more titillating than other people’s hell when it comes to distracting the mind from its own personal grief? In a powerfully evocative stage adaptation of David Grossman’s novel, Theater J brings Falling Out of Time to the stage as the penultimate production of their 2015/2016 calendar season. Directed and Adapted by Derek Goldman, this strikingly emotional drama hones in on the potent power of grief and its ability to transform the lives of an entire village. Jarring, stirring, and emotionally gripping from the suspended beginning to the serenity of the ending, Falling Out of Time is a must-see this season at Theater J."
