REVIEWS
“The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time boasts a knockout performance and expressive design” –The Georgia Straight
“Powerfully dramatic, highly theatrical and sometimes cartoonishly comic, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time builds a feel-good story around an unforgettable central performance.” –Vancouver Sun
“Based on the bestselling novel by Mark Haddon, on its surface, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is like any other family drama. But wrapped inside what feels like a children’s mystery book, told from a unique perspective, and combined with some superb performances and technical magic, it feels now; it feels current.” –Vancouver Presents
“This is a warm-hearted, generous-spirited, uplifting show – a gift to parents of offspring, both young and adult, on the autistic spectrum. But it’s also a magically, theatrically told story that tells all of us we can do more than we think we can.” –Jo Ledingham
