However, whilst in London today, I saw something that I honestly believe I can't sum up how I feel about it in reblogs. Today, I went to see the National Theatre's production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the Gielgud Theatre.

This production, from the outset, was one of my favourite ever theatre experiences, including the three musical productions I have performed in to date (Bugsy Malone, Oliver! and Les Miserables), and the Fortune's Woman in Black. The seats me and my drama class had been allocated, in the third and fourth rows from the front, were fantastic, as we were so close to the actors. The production values were sky-high, from the graph paper-style moving set, the sound and lighting to the CG projections onto the set, the acting is some of the best I have ever seen. Abram Rooney (the understudy for Christopher, which must be remembered) was absolutely fantastic. He's also a top bloke, as he replied to tweets from me and other members of my drama class praising his performance. In fact, unlike other productions, in which there may be one or two cast members who are not necessarily weak in their performance but weaker than the rest of the cast, Curious' ensemble were all equally as good as one another, which, when considering how many of the actors were playing multiple parts makes this show just all the more impressive.

I'm gonna finish this review now, and if I manage to convince at least one person to go and see this production, I'll consider it to have achieved its purpose.
