Raised in Captivity was a play based around a man and everyone around him was very mentally… not all there. Sebastian the main character, and his sister, Bernadette, and brother in law, Kip, are the main characters. There is also a man in jail that Sebastian has fallen for but never met. They are constantly writing each other back and forth until the day he tells Sebastian he will never write him back again for his sake. He says that Sebastian shouldn’t love him and that it’s for his own good. Bernadette starts out as a very emotionally unstable woman who can’t take the death of her mother but at the same time is “happy” about it. She is very uncomfortable with her weight and is always complaining. Kip in unhappy with his job of dental hygiene. He can’t stand the way his life is going, and over night decides he wants to paint. Yet he only paints with white paint.
I loved this event, the acting was spectacular the drama was so real and the selections of attire and props were fitting to the situations as they progressed. The emotions were so real I felt as though I was in the play. The story line was drama in humor form, and incredibly well written. What most impressed me was the acting done. Overall I would rate this event a 10. The play was incredibly moving and well thought out to the smallest detail.
