Having bagged five Tony awards on Broadway, and no fewer than seven Olivier Awards in 2013, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time arrived in Milton Keynes on Monday (Nov 2) with lots of kudos.
And it's all deserved. The work, based on the award-winning novel by Mark Haddon – is an un-missable, unforgettable piece of theatre that is in turn powerful, funny and moving.
Fifteen year old Christopher has an extraordinary brain - while he is exceptional at maths he struggles to interpret the business end of everyday life.
When he falls under suspicion of killing his neighbour’s dog it takes him on a journey that upturns his world and propels him into some terrifying new experiences. But Christopher is made of stronger stuff than anyone might initially have expected.
This phenomenal production, with its unique and innovative staging and fine performances, draws the audience into Christopher’s mysterious world and offers a remarkable insight into what it means to be ‘different’.
Starring Joshua Jenkins as Christopher and a cast that includes Lucas Hare, Geraldine Alexander, Stuart Laing and Roberta Kerr, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time remains here until Saturday, November 7.
