The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time

On Friday 2nd of January I went to see a matinee performance of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time at The Gielgud Theatre.

After studying the book at A Level I was really looking forward to seeing the show. The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time is a brilliant book written by Mark Haddon about a teenage boy with aspergers syndrome who finds a dead dog in his neighbours garden and decides to do detective work to find out who killed the dog and write and murder mystery novel a long the way.

Both the play and the book give an amazing insight into aspergers syndrome and how people who have it see the world, it's really eye opening. It's really refreshing to see a show that educates you about different peoples out looks of the world.

Abram Rooney, who played Christopher, was absolutely incredible. His portrayal of the character was so inspiring and heart felt - he's a very talented actor and I was surprised to find out when I got home that he was in fact the understudy.

Being a big fan of musicals I don't usually see show without songs (as I love a good sing a long) and this is the first play I've seen in a long time however I was not left disappointed at all. From the very first scene you are hooked and don't want the interval to interrupt the show - no matter how much you need to pee or want an ice cream!

It's a truly inspiring show and you leave feeling a little bit better about the world - surely worth a see?
