The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

by Simon Stephens, based on the book by Mark Haddon, was part of a Lauren’s senior theater and sociology thesis at Wesleyan, for which she earned High Honors. This project focused on physical touch in public spaces and the ways in which it does or does not allow those with physical and/or neurological divergences to thrive in contemporary societies. This work also centered on which bodies are included in urban and artistic spaces and how we can make theater and performance art that supports and includes people of all abilities on our stage, in our designs, and in our audience.

cast: Fox Hayes, Chapin Montague, Drew Hill, Abigail Seevak, Sam Driver, Nina Jakobson, Vincent Langan, Abby Meyers, and Jack Warnock

stage management: Annie McGovern; space design: Charlie Rau; lighting design: Gabriel Ballard (asst. Sam Driver); projection & graphic design: Kate Kopf; sound design & composition: Ayan Zamil; costume design: Maria Noto; props design: Matt Cross; photos by Lauren Stock

One of the joys of this process was the opportunity to develop a Curious Incident website as a home base for the incredible amount of content that our team created to support the production and the greater ‘Curious Incident @ Wes’ experience. As this website no longer exists, its contents have been redeveloped and moved here.
