Jack Wolff showed his great attention to detail in his performance as Christopher, as his portrayal of overstimulation was consistent with the character throughout the production and showed the command he had over the stage. The show's concept of being entirely from Christopher's perspective resounded throughout the production, as the production's work to keep Christopher's viewpoint as the sole focus detailed how his crippling social anxiety caused him to not see past initial reactions and dialogue with other characters, bringing a unique type of sympathy to his character. However, his investigations lead him to discover a secret about his supposedly dead mother, and he leaves home to find her, braving the terrifying new world in the process. "The Curious Incident," a play based on Mark Haddon's novel, follows Christopher Boone, a 15-year-old on the autism spectrum, as he writes about his attempts to find out who killed his neighbor's dog with a garden fork. However, those questions can reveal more than what's wanted, exemplified in Chantilly High School's marvelous production of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time." When attempting to solve a mystery, there always seems to be a bizarre tendency to end up with more questions than answers.
