The Nature of Captivity

Raised In Captivity
by Nicky Silver
Synopsis
Press Reviews
"RAISED IN CAPTIVITY is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny…[Silver's] dialogue, which skillfully juxtaposes the banal and the outlandishly whimsical, has the shimmer of an opal…Archly absurdist comedies come cheap these days. finding one with depth of feeling is truly a cause to celebrate.“ —The New York Times. ”…funny, original, imaginative and possessed of a furious energy that makes it spin like a top…full of wittily prickly lines and riotous exchanges, and it uses the stage in splashily irreverent ways that can be exhilarating.“ —New York Magazine. ”…by a mile, the best play of the season."
