A very curious performance

How do you portray a boy with Asperger's? How can you show that disjoint between what Christopher sees and what he understands? Big Spirit's adaptation of 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' for Edinburgh's Fringe divides him in two, with his mind portrayed by Brendan Lucia, working alongside Josh Sharp's 'real' Christopher.

Frequently Asked Questions about Big Spirit.

I'd like to apply but I've never acted before

That doesn't matter at all. If you've dreamed of acting, appearing on stage or even TV, then you can learn to act. What you do need is determination and enthusiasm.

Determination and enthusiasm can soon be turned into talent and we'll help you do just that. So you really need to ask yourself only one question - 'Am I determined to do this?' and if the answer is 'Yes' then you're Big Spirit material!
