The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time presented by MadKap Productions at Skokie Theatre

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...Stephens's script turns Haddon's story into a play within a play, so Christopher's teacher Siobhan (the sympathetic Danielle Kerr) serves as the mediator for his story. It's not wholly effective, and nor is the line of "voices" at the back of the stage who awkwardly pop up as various neighbors, commuters, and other teachers from time to time. But the central relationship between Christopher and his beleaguered father, Ed (Michael Wollner), who has been hiding a major secret, is strong enough to generally carry us through some of the more wincing moments."

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...Many of us are hooked on the television show called “The Good Doctor”. This series ( now in its final season, so they say) is about an autistic young man raised by a doctor who becomes a surgeon. Jane and I have been watching since day one and we will miss watching how this young man handles things in a manner that is quite foreign to us. Watching a show like this makes us think that there are many things that are unique and different in people that makes us who we are."

Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended

"...Another beautiful performance at the Skokie Theatre telling the story based on the 2003 mystery novel by British writer Mark Haddon. The story is about Christopher, a 15-year-old boy with behavioral difficulties living in Swindon, Wiltshire, with his father, Ed. Christopher is somewhat of a mathematician, an outsider due to his disorder, and sees the world in a revealing way although he is ill-equipped to interpret everyday life."

Life and Times - Recommended

"..."The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" is a different kind of story, with a different kind of hero, and a different manner of storytelling. Skokie Theatre's production is proof that different can be a very good thing. Heroes come in all sorts of packages."
