Here’s the set for Act Two in Breathe Art‘s production of Nicky Silver’s “Raised in Captivity,” that a friend and I saw yesterday. I was particularly taken with the fencing as both motif and fourth wall – it made me consider that other fourth wall, the page. Reading, we can hear and see everything onstage, but we can’t talk to the characters, even if, in the text, they talk to us. Haven’t you ever felt like yelliing out to a character who’s about to do something awful? “No, Ophelia! You can’t swim!”
