I used to work with young people diagnosed with autism in schools. The acting was good serious and funny at the same time Did not need so much swearing i would watch it again. drinks at bar expensive we asked for irish coffee which they did not have. Instead they served us whiskey with coffee instead. I ordered 2 this cost me £18.00 daylight robbery . Did not ask server price of drinks.

I have wanted to see this show for some years and the wait was worth it! The production was amazing from beginning to end. Very few shows have kept me so engaged throughout. It took you on the journey of a person with "aspergers" and how they related to the world around them, through words, sounds ,lighting and movement - all excellently done. If you do not like flashing lights, loud or slightly discordant music you should not go, but a must for everone else,

The play was brilliant! I am really glad I saw it before it ends. I thought the creativity was remarkable, and that all the emotions were properly conveyed to the audience. One could really feel was Christopher was going through in his own world. Overall, it was a moving, and beautiful story well played by the main actor.

A compelling story of a boy with Asperger’s and the journey he goes on after discovering a murdered dog on the lawn of one of his neighbours. The staging is quite superb and brings the novel on which it is based to life in a brilliant fashion, The lead actor playing Christopher was extraordinary. Highly recommended for an entertaining night out that delivers an emotional punch.

I loved the book when J read it, a few years ago, so when J had the chance to buy the theatre tickets for my daughter and myself I just got them, everyone had told us what a great play this was. And the play was great and much more! Witty, funny, dmptuonal, relatable (my son is autistic and very similar to Christopher:) ), I would see it again and again, truly wonderful cast and effects, a gem!

I hadn’t any idea over what to expect from this production, after all I am a general theatre goer with a simple attitude to taking my seat, if I can take a comfortable seat, follow a story, laugh a bit and cry a bit then that is my expectations of a performance fulfilled. This production did exactly that and more! Thought provoking at every level, the decision to perform the story successfully for so long on a Westend Stage is a triumph for humanity. There is no glitzy, razzamatazz, no music, no dancing just an honest and brave story of a modern family coping in society. Brilliant performances from the cast mean your attention is fully engaged. I always say you know when you see a quality script come to life when technical angles are driven invisibly. The whole stage unfolds using a technical mastery which I can totally applaud, with lighting and sound in my view creating the depth to the writing in such a way you only become more immersed in the story. A directive masterpiece! My only reservation to audiences would be that the language scripted is in an adult form and may make audience goers with younger children feel uneasy, but that aside a modern story should have an honest presentation and it definitely delivers that!

Everyone seemed very impressed but I had some reservations myself - I felt rather manipulated (cute puppy - perlease!) and sometimes uncomfortable with the humour which largely depended on the main role's autism,. It was a little 'stagey' and the story was unconvincing. Great acting by the star of the show, but not entirely sold on the show overall.
