Girl Held in Home

"Searle uses her signature zany brilliance to turn suburbia, adultery, parenting, politics, and even terrorism into something new and insightful. Move over John Cheever! Elizabeth Searle has arrived!" — Ann Hood

A mother tries to deal with complex relationships, race, and fear in the days following 9/11 while her teenage son attempts to rescue a girl that may be trapped in a house filled with a family of terrorists.

Elizabeth Searle is the author of Celebrities in Disgrace, which was produced as a short film in 2010. Her theater works have been featured on Good Morning America, CBS, CNN, and NPR.
