Synopsis: Sebastian Bliss and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon, reunite at
their mother's funeral, who has been killed by an errant showerhead.  This
is just the beginning of a quirky, comical stream of events - a ball of
energy full of crazy characters, and twists and turns.

 “Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and,
against all odds, it is also very funny.” – The New York Times

“…by a mile, the best play of the season.”  New York Observer

“…funny, original, imaginative … full of wittily prickly lines and riotous
exchanges.”  New York
