“In CIVILIZED you may find yourself reflecting on the difference between the adjective and the verb form of the title; one a genteel, learned and kind descriptor, the other a forced submission, a breaking and cultivation of souls. Playwright Keir Cutler’s intimate and moving hour-long show, set up inside a circle of onstage audience seating, is similarly a dual experience, half hard-hitting history lesson and half cri de coeur for those who never got to speak.”

—Broadway World

“Every Canadian should see Civilized; it’s a thoughtful and emotional glimpse into the darkest part of our shared history told through the eyes and words of the people who could have stopped the whole thing. Brilliantly performed and designed, Civilized is a great addition to the Next Stage Festival.”

"Huston’s performance never waivers as he changes from Blank to himself and back again. He’s got a Gene Wilder-like quality in his ability to change emotions on a dime...

Every Canadian should see Civilized"

From Sesay Arts Magazine:
“The play’s unique blend of historical research and circus-like elements creates a provocative atmosphere that challenges the audience to engage deeply with its difficult themes. Huston describes the experience of performing Civilized as an interplay between light and dark, where the collective challenge is finding the ‘play’ in what is, at its core, a deeply serious subject. ‘When you tell someone, ‘this is a play about Residential Schools,’ their expectation might be, ‘this will be a serious play that will make me feel guilty’,’ he notes. “That is NOT our intention.’”
