Leicester


We opened tonight with the first of eight shows at the Curve Theatre, Leicester. As with Cardiff back in April, this is of particular significance because it's the home town of one of the cast: in this case, Chris Ashby, our alternate Christopher Boone. Chris was on BBC Radio Leicester yesterday, talking about what this means to him. You can listen to his interview here for the next few weeks: it starts at 1.09.30.

Yesterday also saw the announcement that Curious Incident on Broadway had won five Tony Awards (named after co-founder of the American Theatre Wing, Antoinette Perry):

Best Play
Best Leading Actor in a Play (Alex Sharp)
Best Director of a Play (Marianne Elliott)
Best Scenic Design of a Play (Bunny Christie and Finn Ross)
Best Lighting Design of a Play (Paule Constable)

Here are their acceptance speeches:
