Editorial 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.

NY 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.

NY Magazine

...by a mile, the best play of the season.
