The script and visual technical aspects of “The Curious
Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” is outstanding on every level. Unfortunately,
on opening night, the touring production did not take the play to the heights
that it deserves.

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" begins with a sudden assault on our senses, with extreme sound and light ushering us into a stressful experience in protagonist Christopher’s life. The play, a faithful adaptation of Mark Haddon’s best-selling 2003 novel, is highly physical theater that offers excellent ensemble storytelling as well as inventive staging and multimedia effects that create the world of 15-year-old Christopher’s mind.

Howard Gollop
In a national touring production of a non-musical play (quite a rarity), “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” seemed to have grabbed Tuesday’s opening-night audience by the throats and never let go. And it’s not just because of the behemoth title. Yes, we discover the answer to the mystery of the dog, but the bigger mystery of autism — and how it is experienced — is what makes this stage thriller so riveting.
Mark Horning
This is a coming of age story about a sheltered
young man attempting to strike out on his own. In spite of his handicaps he utilizes the talents that he has been blessed with in order to function in the
real world. Combining lights, sound and choreography with exceptional acting it
paints a clearer picture of the lives of these least understood members of
society while leaving lots of room for post show discussion.

In the remarkable production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by London’s National Theatre, Simon Stephens has adapted British playwright Mark Haddon’s eponymous novel into a thrilling excursion.

Gross: As we enter the Connor Palace theatre and look to the stage what greets our eyes? A dead dog impaled by a pitchfork. And that dog and its discovery triggers all subsequent action in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

In the moving mind blower that is "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" we literally climb into the head of Christopher Boone, a Swindon, England, teen. . . . Good art teaches us to see the world how other see it. Great art helps us feel what it's like to walk in another's skin, connecting us to each other and reminding of our shared humanity, a vast and beautiful ocean. It's a fitting metaphor, though no doubt one to which Christopher would object.
