The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

National Theatre

30 August

 

2    Light boxes,

      loops of railway track,

      circles of chalk.

3    Computers,

      puzzles, patterns.

      No touching.

5    Maths A-level:

      A*

7    Rat-love,

      train sets,

      red food dye.

11  Dogs: one heart-melting,

       one dead – the mystery

       that starts it all.

13  The way he sees the world:

       one-way

       and shadow-less.

17  The end.

       I know its theatre but still

       I am half-overcome –

19  Heartbreak.

       Sheer joy.

 

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time runs until 27 October at the National Theatre
