This Wednesday, I went to see the play, The curious incident of the dog in the
nighttime, at Broadway. It was a fantastic show that all the lights, sounds
and the emotions that actors controlled were great. Even I was far away from
the stage, I can feel each small details in characters’ emotion. This play told
a story of an autistic little boy’s journey to find his mom and get his life
into his real route. It was hard for an autistic boy to do many things, but,
finally, people found that he was able to do everything that he wanted through
his hard work. Thus, I also found it encourage me to do something that I was
afraid to do.
The character I liked the most was Christopher.
Even though I cannot understand his way of thinking, I still see his firm and
brave spirit through his weird and week expression. If I were he, I can never
go to find my mom in London so easy. It might because of his easy way to think
that make him not afraid, but I was jealous that he could do things that I was
afraid to do so. He wasn’t a wonderful person, but at least he told me that
there’s something that I needed to be brave to break or to do.
For my first impression of this play, I found
the background was too simple that was even worse than our school black box
theatre. However, I knew that I was wrong after a few minutes. I saw the
changing background with those simple little spots and strange light effect. I feel
like I got into the show and feel the strange way of thinking as the main
character did as well. I also understood him, through that easy way of
thinking. Watching the show was like giving me an impression of autistic
children’s world!
Overall, this is a fantastic show as I have
said in the title. I wish I can always go to Broadway to see something like
this!
