Raised in Captivity is mired in the madhouse
AIDS is tough to deal with. It's sad and horrible. So is murder. So too are rape, prostitution, alcoholism, depression, and pretty much every other theme found in Nicky Silver's Raised In Captivity, Mask and Bauble's fall offering that opens tonight. While the play is purportedly a comedy, it deals in dark hues, which cast shadows over its characters, all of whom are unhappily searching for something more, in themselves and in others.
