The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Projection Design | Arts Club Theatre Company | September 2018

“The action is set in Swindon, Wiltshire, in southwest England where Christopher is being raised by his rough, boiler-maker father Ed...When Wellington, the dog belonging to neighbour Mrs. Shears…is discovered killed with a pitchfork, Christopher begins sleuthing. In the course of looking for clues he makes discoveries, not the least of which is that he can actually manage many things – previously considered beyond his ability – on his own….Drew Facey’s set is stellar in every sense of the word: great curving arches, like illuminated orbits, pierce several overhead ‘planets’ that flicker with tiny lights like so many fireflies. Lit by Itai Erdal with video design by Joel Grinke and Jimmz Zhang, the effect is cosmic and, like Christopher’s mind, limitless and expanding. It’s clean, it’s beautiful and it serves the play well” - Jo Ledingham, Theatre Reviews, September 2018
