BWW Reviews: Caught @ Zephyr Continues Successful Run
The issues of gay marriage and fidelity in marriage in general are explored with humor, intelligence, and a genuine optimism in David L. Ray's Caught, now extended at the Zephyr Theatre through April 3. Fans of Del Shores and Southern Baptist Sissies will see parallels. Growing up Southern Baptist and homosexual do not mix. In Ray's play it's the fundamentalist church that damns to hell any marriage which is not a foundation for family and family values. Putting religion aside, the more urgent message in Caught becomes the support system, the compassion that one should have for another. DeGruccio's expert pace and a top-notch ensemble keep the dramedy riveting and equally entertaining.

BWW Reviews: 'CAUGHT' Stirs the Gay Marriage Debate
The debate over same-sex marriage is the overarching theme of David L. Ray's stirring new world premiere play 'CAUGHT,' now performing at the Zephyr Theatre in West Hollywood for an extended engagement through February 13. Set in the months before voting on Prop. 8 happened, this thoughtful, sometimes emotionally-gripping new stage work takes the gay marriage debate and frames it within a melodrama that surrounds an impending wedding between co-habitating Los Angeles couple. Though its soap opera-flavored vignettes feel like rehashes of previous gay-centric dramas we've seen before, the play manages to move past the derivative in order to truly triumph as a genuinely riveting, enjoyable piece of living theater-- thanks in part to a likable cast of actors and a brisk pace set forth by director Nick DeGruccio.
